The Heavenly Pantry at the First Congregational Church on Main Street in Essex
Junction will be open to families on Thursday, January 25, from 3-6 p.m. Residents of Essex, Essex Junction, and Westford are welcome to enter the front door of the First Congregational Church of Essex Junction where they will be given a number and asked to wait in the sanctuary until it is their turn to register. A volunteer will then escort them around the pantry where they will make their food selections.
There are no income requirements to participate, but additional food from the
USDA is available once each month to those who verify their income falls below
federally mandated guidelines. If you live within walking distance of the pantry
and have no vehicle you may borrow a shopping cart to bring your food home, and
we ask that it be returned immediately so others may use it.
Those needing food but unable to attend can call the church office at 878-5745
from 9:00 to noon today through Thursday to arrange a delivery. The pantry is here
for you! The next pantry will be held on Monday, February 12, from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
