SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5: FOOD SHELF HOURS: 9 AM TO 11 AM
Tomorrow, February 5, is the first Saturday of the month and the Food Shelf will be open from 9 AM to 11 AM for monthly grocery pick-up and/or to drop off donations.
We are continuing to check everyone’s proof of residency for 2022 during February. Documentation should be a bill, such as a utility bill, insurance bill, etc., or a mortgage/lease agreement. A Vermont Hunting/Fishing license or auto insurance paperwork can be used as well if they contain your current home address. Unfortunately, a driver’s license and/or car registration can NOT be used for proof of residency.
Please continue to WEAR A MASK, even while waiting in your car. Volunteers are also wearing masks. If you can wear double masks for a short time, it would be much appreciated. We want to keep everyone safe, visitors and volunteers alike.
Weather permitting, there are two tables outside the Food Shelf with miscellaneous items. Please take only what you will use. This will be the last week of available winter coats on a coat rack during open hours.
Information on Food Shelf Closure(s)
If Colchester schools are closed due to weather, the Food Shelf will also be closed. So, if weather (winter weather) is questionable, please check for Colchester school closures.
Donors, please do not leave donations outside the building when we are not open. Generally, volunteers are not available to stop by to check for donations on a daily basis. We have had some donations left outside which caused items to freeze and they had to be discarded. Volunteers are at the Food Shelf on Wednesdays at 11 AM to prepare for the day. Please feel free to stop by and drop off donations between 11 AM and 6 PM on Wednesdays.
Help us spread the word to those that may not see the Front Porch Forum, Facebook, or website posts!
PLEASE STAY SAFE AND WELL!
