Sharon St. Hilaire Award for Community Service awarded to Doorways Food Pantry

On Monday, August 7th, Doorways was honored by the Seekonk Public Library and its Trustees to be this year’s recipient of the prestigious Sharon St. Hilaire Award for Community Service. This award was established in memory of Sharon St. Hilaire, former Library Director, to recognize a lifetime of service by a public employee or community volunteer.

For the past 21 years, Doorways has been blessed, through the efforts of our many volunteers and community partners to serve our Seekonk neighbors in need for whom food insecurity is very real.

At Doorways, our goal is to make sure that no family ever goes without food.

More than 70 families, many with small children, rely each week on Doorways for their food. Over this same 21 years, we have distributed close to 2 million pounds of food and the need continues and grows.

However, we know that we cannot do it alone. We have been blessed by and so grateful for the generous support of the wonderful people of Seekonk and beyond. Your support has made a real difference in the lives of our neighbors in this Town that we all call home and means the world to us!
