The Community
Supper at the Chichester Methodist Parish Hall on Wednesday,
November 21, is a Thanksgiving Dinner. Come and enjoy a free meal
with friends and neighbors.
The Chichester Holiday
Food Basket Program for 2018 in cooperation with the Capital Region
Food Program is excited to provide a holiday meal and additional
food to help families over the holidays. The Chichester Food
Pantry will be accepting applications until Dec 1. The
Chichester contact for a basket is Evelyn Pike at 798-5808 ext. 1 or
stop by town hall.
It’s time again for Socks
for Seniors. Boxes have been placed at the Chichester Town Library
and The Attic Thrift Shop to receive your donations of new, colorful
socks in adult sizes to be given to seniors in area nursing homes at
Christmas time. The boxes will be in place until December 15. This
project is sponsored by Chichester Grange and has been well received
by recipients and donors alike.
Have you ever been to a
Grange Penny Sale? It is a cross between a yard sale and a raffle.
Numerous small items are spread out on tables. You purchase a block
of tickets and put one in a small cup beside the items you like.
Numbers are drawn, and you take home the items you have won.
Chichester Grange will be holding a Penny Sale and Soup Lunch at the
Grange/Town Hall on Saturday, December 1, at 11 a.m. Numbers
will be drawn beginning at 12 noon. Purchase a lunch of homemade
soup to enjoy while waiting to see what you will be bringing home.
The Penny Sale is Christmas-themed but not limited to Christmas
items.
REMINDER
The Chichester Police
Department has applications for assistance through the Santa’s
Helpers program at the station. They must be filled out completely
and turned in to the Chichester Police Department by December 19,
2018. You must be a Chichester resident. Unfortunately we have to
restrict it to children eighteen and younger. We try to fill the
“needs” category first and then things in the “want” category.
Questions: call 798-4911 Chichester Police.
Once again the Chichester
Food Pantry will be handling the food baskets for Christmas, so
please contact the Town Hall.
Out Of Your Attic
Thrift Shop News
Submitted By Carol Hendee
We are closed for
Thanksgiving. Next Thursday is the 1/2 price day. Once again,
we are a collection place for the Socks for Seniors program. Need
brand new warm socks for vets, people in nursing homes,etc.
There will be a decorated box on the table for the socks.
Also, we will be a
collection center for the Concord Resource Center for the homeless.
It was pointed out to me that homeless people from Chichester and
surrounding towns often use the Concord Resource Center when it is
too cold to camp out. You can check their website:
www.concordhomeless.org. Items you can drop off at The Attic
(please mark them so we know to deliver to the shelter) include:
winter boots sizes 10 to 13; parkas or very warm winter jackets;
foot, hand, and body warmers; shampoo, and laundry detergent.

Outstanding Volunteer
Program Champion Award Presented to Live and Let Live Farm’s Rescue
and Sanctuary. This recognition is not only well deserved but hard
earned by the army of volunteers that give tirelessly and freely of
themselves to better the lives of not only all the animals that call
the Farm their Rescue and Sanctuary, but to the family community we
have created. We are over 500 volunteers strong and we are bound
together by the love of what we do. We have made a choice to leave
our mark on the world, and leave it a better place than where we
found it. We encourage you to get involved in your community, by any
means you have. Help us to continue our mission to help those in
need. Visit us on a weekly Sunday guided tour held every Sunday at
2:30 and learn how you can help with donations or learn how you can
become part of the giving hearts and caring hands of the family of
volunteers! Live and Let Live Farm’s Rescue and Sanctuary is a
safe haven for animals in hoarding, starvation and abandonment cases
as well as helping those whom have loved their animals and can no
longer care for them in harsh times (loss of job, home, sickness or
even death of owners). More than 500 volunteers log in over 50,000
hours per year, that being said, more volunteers are always in need
and highly appreciated. Live and Let Live’s team is an army of
dedicated people bringing all their individual talents to the
table. This is a large working rescue farm, and the team
adapts to every situation and goes above and beyond in the care
provided to the animals. The Live and Let Live Farm’s Rescue and
Sanctuary is an environment in which hundreds benefit from
having a safe place to encourage the partnership between humans and
animals. Animals are helped and rescued not only in NH, but
surrounding New England area’s and across the country when able. To
find out more or to help support LLLF with your donation please go
