News from Rehoboth Food Pantry

Posted

Happy Autumn 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.

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!! On November 14th, from 7PM to 9PM at Goff Hall, we are holding an "All Volunteer Appreciation Meeting" as a special THANK YOU to our wonderful volunteers and we will also share what the Pantry has been up to and our plans for the future. We can always use more help, so if you are interested in finding ways to volunteer for the pantry, please call us at 508-493-1922 or visit Goff Hall on November 14th!

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.

For food donations, our generous friends have provided a number of convenient drop off locations to donate:

Blanding Library – Bay State Road, Rehoboth
Land-Tek – 477 Winthrop Street, Rehoboth
Munroe Feed & Supply – 200 Fairview Ave., Rehoboth
