Food Pantry Accepting Fresh Produce

The FAITH Food Pantry located in the undercroft of St John’s Episcopal Church on Washington Avenue is a little bit overwhelmed right now with fresh squash that generous Newtowners have donated, said pantry director Lee Paulson. But if gardeners have other excess produce that they do not want to go to waste, the pantry is happy to accept that bounty.

Fresh produce can be brought by the Food Pantry Tuesday mornings between 10 and noon, or between 6 and 7:30 pm on Thursday evenings. In order that the pantry not be deluged with too much of any one item, Ms Paulson asks that she be called at 426-5604  prior to dropping off any fresh vegetables or fruits.
