November Rehoboth Food Pantry News

November at the Rehoboth Food Pantry
Honoring Community, Giving Thanks, and Coming Together

As we enter the season of thanks and giving, the Rehoboth Food Pantry is reminded—once again—of how deeply our town cares. From ongoing donations to simple acts of service, your compassion continues to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors.

This month, as we prepare for the holidays, we want to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude—and to extend a special invitation to those who help keep our mission alive.

You’re Invited: All Volunteer Meeting – November 12th
We are excited to announce a special All Volunteer Meeting on
Tuesday, November 12th
Goff Hall, Rehoboth
7:00 PM

This gathering is our way of saying thank you to the incredible volunteers who give their time and heart to the Pantry—on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and whenever needed. Whether you sort donations, help with deliveries, manage communications, or simply lend a helping hand—we want to celebrate you.

Interested in becoming more involved with the Pantry? We’ll also be sharing information about volunteer opportunities and open positions on our Board of Directors. If you’ve ever felt called to serve, we’d love to see you there.
