News from the Food Shelf

Although holidays are behind us our food shelf remains well stocked and busy. We have received some very generous donations, many that particularly enhance food orders, for which we are most appreciative. With that said, we continue to rely upon donations to keep the shelves full of ample food for our neighbors in need. Items that may not come to mind, but equally necessary include mayo, ketchup, salt and pepper. These are important ingredients for canned tuna and chicken that folks use together with ground beef.

We do want to extend a very special thank you to the Ludlow Fire Department for their most generous contribution of time and effort in sponsoring our Stuff-A-Bus event this year. Due to COVID we were unable to make it happen and the Fire Department surprised us by offering to take it on. What a wonderful gift! Volunteer fire fighters spent two days at Shaw’s parking lot collecting an extra-ordinary amount of food for our food shelf. We so appreciate this amazing effort!

Please share with anyone who may need extra help our information. The food shelf is open Monday through Friday,10 AM–3 PM by calling 802-228-3663. The process has been streamlined and, of course, confidential. We serve residents of Ludlow, Mt. Holly, Belmont, Cavendish, Proctorsville and Plymouth.

With New Year wishes for good health and sharing the news to those less fortunate that our food shelf is here as a necessary resource.
