The Rehoboth Food Pantry Says Thank You

Posted

As 2018 comes to a close, The Rehoboth Food Pantry has so much to be thankful for. We are part of a very generous and supportive community. The continuous donations from individuals and businesses in town are a true blessing. The drop off locations in town make that support easier, the Harvest Market on Rt. 6 which also has car shows on Tuesday evenings throughout the summer, and asks that people bring a donation for the Food Pantry, Munroe Feed and Grain on Fairview Ave. (which was the original Food Pantry location many years ago), The Blanding Library on Bay State Rd., The Senior Center on Bay State Rd, Land-Tek on Rt. 44, and Edward Jones Investments on Rt. 44. We cannot thank you enough for this wonderful service.

Throughout the fall we were the recipients of many food drives. We started restocking our shelves in October with the Boy Scouts and Post Office drive. That was quickly followed by the St. Vincent DePaul organization from Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Seekonk whose drive supported Doorways in Seekonk, Rehoboth Food Pantry and also the St. Vincent DePaul organization. November rolled in with food drives from all three of our town schools. Palmer River supplied us with 33 bags to pass out as well as many bags of food items and produce and a very generous monetary donation. Beckwith followed with a very large food drive and DR was not going to be outdone and collected close to 5000 food items. We are thankful for the many individuals and businesses that donated turkeys, hams, pies, rolls, cornbread, food baskets, and produce. We also thank Shaun Eddy, manager of Hannaford in Taunton, for his continuing support. Last, we need to mention and send our thanks to the wonderful group of volunteers who help sort donated food, stock shelves and help in the pantry.

We could not do it all without you!! It is very heartwarming to see the town wide support and generosity first hand. We are extremely grateful and so very blessed to be part of this wonderful town. Thank you so much, Rehoboth. We could not help as we do without you all!
