Happy New Year and Many Thanks


Total volunteer hours at the pantry for 2010 were 6,955 hrs or approximately 134 hours each week. Thank you. We appreciate everything volunteers and donors did last year and are looking forward to a continuing partnership with our many friends and helpers in 2011.

Recent weather in southern New England has made getting about difficult but the people who visit the pantry are still very much in need of help. Some specific items we are looking for at the pantry include plastic bags, soup, cereal and peanut butter. Toilet paper is also still asked for each week.

Please note that we are no longer accepting any used items or clothing.
