GCC FOOD PANTRY AND THRIFT SHOP NEWS
The GCC Food Pantry and Thrift Shop will be having a
Work Day on October 22nd at our building location on Route 140 in
Gilmanton Iron Works. We will also work the afternoon of the 23rd if
needed to finish up the jobs or in case of rain. We will be siding
the 2 dormers with primed clapboard, bracing the air conditioning
unit, doing some various caulking jobs, and some other odds and ends
about the building. If time and supply donations allow, we will be
repairing some of the boards which have fallen off the rear of the
building near the foundation.
We are looking for donations of supplies to
accomplish the work that needs to be done. If you are interested in
either supplying materials or in working with us, please call Jane
Sisti, the pantry director, at 364-7437. Many hands make light work.
We would also like to let everyone know that we have
begun to collect food items for the upcoming holiday season. We will
be filling food baskets for approximately 50 families in need in the
town of Gilmanton for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. This takes a
lot of food items and your help will be greatly appreciated. We are
looking for non-perishable items such as: bottled juice, coffee,
canned vegetables, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, pie filling and
pie crust mix, muffin/bread mixes, cereal, peanut butter, jelly,
tuna, mayonnaise, pineapple, sugar, cocoa, pickles and olives,
canned fruit, macaroni and cheese, and canned soups. We will also be
taking donations of fresh items like eggs, milk, butter/margarine,
onions, potatoes, hams and turkeys as we get closer to the holiday.
We will accept donations of money to purchase these items.
There are food collection boxes at the Iron Works
Market, the Academy Building in the Corners, the Gilmanton School,
and the Year Round Library. There will be food drives at several
local events in town so watch the papers and posters for details.
You may drop your donations off at the pantry during
our regular business hours. We ask that you please do not leave
donations outside the door (stray animals and such). If you wish to
make a monetary donation you can mail it to GCC Food Pantry and
Thrift Shop, PO Box 6, Gilmanton IW, NH 03837.
In the Thrift Shop we continue with our "below the
waist" 50% off sale. Any item you wear from the waist down, pants,
skirts, shoes, shorts, belts, capris, is on sale until October 15th
