WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 FOOD SHELF HOURS: 12 NOON TO 6 PM
REUSABLE SHOPPING BAGS: Please bring reusable bags if available.
PROOF OF RESIDENCE INFORMATION: Please don’t forget to bring Proof of Residency if you are a new client or if requested. Proof would be a current bill, lease, etc., with your name and address. A driver’s license or car registration can not be used as Proof of Residence.
GARDENERS: Thank you to all who are bringing their extra produce to the Food Shelf. The tomatoes are looking great. We are still receiving green beans too. Colchester residents that use the services of the Food Shelf are really enjoying all the fresh produce. There are two volunteers at the Food Shelf at 11 AM preparing for the day that can accept your produce. Donation dropoffs between 11 AM and 12 Noon is probably the easiest time to drop off food donations.
OUT-OF-DATE ITEMS: As some of you think about getting ready to go south and cleaning out your pantry, please be sure to check the dates. We cannot put outdated items on our shelves.
DONATIONS: Thank you to all who donate so generously. Please only leave donations during open hours on Wednesdays/Saturdays. The high-priority items are those that are on the shopping list used by our clients. You can find a list of high-priority items by visiting the Donate page on our website (or click here to view the list). If you do not need a receipt, there is a plastic container under the canopy where canned goods can be left. Financial donations should be mailed to the PO Box address below:

Please stay safe and well!
