Rehoboth Food Pantry News

Our annual tradition of distributing Thanksgiving Baskets with all the fixings continues. Instead of our usual opening time of Thursday, we will be distributing Tuesday, November 20th from 2:30 to 4:30.”

It's hard to believe we're already at "that time of the year!" The holidays are just around the corner, with Thanksgiving just a few short weeks away! "Giving Thanks is what this time is all about" says William Dalpe, President of the Rehoboth Food Pantry, "and we want to take a few moments to thank all of the businesses, organizations and individuals who volunteer and donate - making it possible for us to help our neighbors in need. Without all of your help, our 'cupboards would be bare,' so our heartfelt thanks goes to all those who help."
