The Stephentown Food Pantry could use some donations of garden vegetables on Saturday mornings. If you have a surplus from your garden and you could take some fresh produce to the Stephentown Federated Church around or slightly before 9 am on a Saturday, it would be appreciated very much.
[private]The Stephentown Food Pantry offers short-term assistance to residents of Stephentown, New York, and Hancock, Massachusetts, and serves 5 to 15 families every week. In the first half of this year the pantry has provided food for 5,500 meals for families in need of food assistance. The pantry is open every Saturday morning, weather permitting, from 9 to 11 am at the Stephentown Federated Church, Garfield Road (County Route 26). Appointments are not needed, but new clients should bring identification showing their street address, such as a current utility bill. As always, requests for help are confidential. For information, call 518-487-8606.
This volunteer group has been serving the community since 1983. If you wish to donate money to help stock the pantry, you may send checks to the Stephentown Food Pantry treasurer at P. O. Box 387, Stephentown, NY 12168.[/private]
