News from the Rehoboth Food Pantry

Happy September, Rehoboth!

Yet another season is upon us, and another reason to say THANK YOU to all of you! We at the Pantry LOVE this "broken record" sound of saying Thank You! - as each of you keep the shelves stocked as well as giving us the ability to continue providing heating assistance by donating money! Grocery bills (as well as energy costs) continue to rise - we are here to help our neighbors in need. As the weather starts to get cooler, remember that we also offer emergency fuel assistance!!

Special thanks to some of our wonderful businesses and neighbors goes to:

The Rehoboth Town Events Committee for collecting food at the recent clambake
The West Dighton Christian Church which continues to send needed food donations
The Horton Estates Social Committee, which collects donations for us at their birthday celebrations,

Being a "Right to Farm" town, we are blessed by so many of you who bring us your extras from your garden produce (our clients love them!).

We are very grateful for the community's support with food and monetary donations. The food donations are a great help to fill in holes in our food supply. We also send a huge thank you to the Rehoboth Congregational Church which ran a School Supply Backpack Drive and donated 20 backpacks filled with supplies, to the pantry!! The RCC is currently holding a food drive, so extra thank you's as well! Thank you, Allison for reaching out, and helping out! You are all such a blessing! Thank you!

As you know, our volunteers are hard at work every Wednesday (for prepping) and Thursday (for distribution) - and we are grateful for all the time and effort they put in!!

Some reminders: Every Thursday, between 2:30 and 4:30 the pantry opens its doors (located in the rear of the building) to help provide food and other necessities to residents in need. If you have trouble getting to the pantry, please call us at 508-493-1922 so we can arrange a delivery of groceries for you.
