Gilmanton Food Pantry & Thrift Shop
Giving
Thanks for Donations
Maggie Locke Emerson of Locke Associates.
The
Gilmanton Food Pantry has many individuals and organizations to
thank for helping us provide Thanksgiving food baskets to families
in need living in the Gilmanton Community.
Thanks
to the Daniel Webster Council’s Scouting for Food community service
project. The Gilmanton Scouts collected over 500 pounds of food
which was donated to the Gilmanton Food Pantry. We at the Food
Pantry also extend a thank you to the Gilford High School students
who recently conducted a food drive and donated over 207 pounds of
food.
Thank
you, Maggie Locke Emerson of Locke Associates, for conducting a food
drive which resulted in a donation of 70 pounds of food.
Heartfelt thank you and acknowledgment also go to Jane Sisti for a
donation of 15 pies and the Gilmanton Gallopers 4-H for their
donation of an entire food basket and turkey.
Donations at any time of the year are absolutely needed and are
important to the continued ability to provide supplemental food to
families in need. However, at this time of year these donations
help to provide extra items for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals.
Thank
you one and all for your generosity.
The
Gilmanton Thrift Shop is featuring our popular bag sale all during
the month of December. Fill a paper grocery shopping bag
chuck-a-block full for only $7.00. Perfect time to stock up, or
freshen up the wardrobe or just to get ready for cold weather.
If
there is anyone who did not have the opportunity to donate for
Thanksgiving food baskets or gifts for the adopt-a-child program, it
is not too late. The Pantry will be assembling Christmas food
baskets for families in need and if you wish to participate in gift
giving for children, you may contact Bethany Lavin at 267-1934 or
Katie McEntee at the Gilmanton Elementary School at 364-5681.
Please leave a call back number. As well, if you are or become
aware of, anyone living in Gilmanton who needs a helping hand,
please contact Bethany or Katie so we may reach out to them.
With
grateful appreciation from the Gilmanton Food Pantry & Thrift Shop
volunteers,
Happy
Holidays and God Bless!
