Thank You
On behalf of the Gilmanton
Community Church Food Pantry and
the Gilmanton School, we would like
to say Thank you to all those who
made donations of food, contributed
money or gave of their time and
energy to put together the
Thanksgiving Food Baskets. With the
generous support of many from
Gilmanton and from surrounding
towns, we were able to help many
families have a very Happy
Thanksgiving Day.
We will be putting together food
baskets for the Christmas Holiday
soon. We are again asking for your
donations of nonperishable food
items or you may make a donation of
money to be used to purchase the
perishable items that are put in the
baskets for the holidays. These
items may be brought to the
Gilmanton School or the Gilmanton
Town Offices/Academy Building.
We will also be doing the
Adopt-A-Child Program at the
Gilmanton School again this year for
Christmas. This program helps
families in need with gifts for
their children by having you “adopt”
a child or an entire family and
purchase the gifts for their wish
list.
This year with so many families in
need of assistance we hope that you
will be able to help us spread the
Christmas cheer in our community. If
you wish to make a donation of money
or if you have any questions
regarding either of these programs,
or you are a family in need of
assistance, you may contact either
Katie McEntee, Gilmanton School,
364-5681 or Jane Sisti, Gilmanton
Community Food Pantry, 364-7437.
Again, Thank You, Jane Sisti and
Katie McEntee.
