VISITING THE FOOD PANTRY
Fridays 3:00-4:30pm / Saturdays 9-10am
WHEN YOU ARRIVE
Enter the parking lot on the OPPOSITE side of Wells Hill Road from the Church. Please remain in your car and a volunteer will direct you. Because of Covid, we distribute food using a drive-through model.
Stop at registration. Give your name, family size and town where you live (as we ask you to do each week). The volunteer will direct you to where you will receive your groceries and exit.

If this is your first visit to the Pantry, or if it’s been more than a year since your last visit, you will need to register. We ask for the following information:
Your name (or the name of the head of your family)
Your phone number in case we have to reach you
The town where you live
The number of people in your family
The first names and ages of your family members
