The Rotary Club of Essex will be holding a food drive at the Price Chopper Essex on Center Rd. on September 16 from 9am to 2pm. Donated food will be collected to benefit the Heavenly Food Pantry in Essex Jct. The Heavenly Food Pantry serves approximately 80 families per month in the Essex Community. It is an essential food program to help feed our hungry neighbors.
Please go to Price Chopper on Saturday, September 16 between 9 AM and 2 PM and help Essex Rotary by donating non-perishable food items. Rotary Club members will be on-site to assist donors with information about the specific needs of our neighbors who use the Heavenly Food Pantry. Many thanks to Matt Lumsden Real Estate who is lending their box van to transport the collected items to Heavenly Food Pantry.
Note from Food Insecurity Committee Chair, Tim Gendron - 9/5/2023
Now that the 10 Best Days of Summer and corn boothing are behind us it's time to focus on another service opportunity. The Food Insecurity Committee has planned an essential food drive on Saturday, September 16th at the Price Chopper in Essex. This will be from 9am - 2pm and will benefit The Heavenly Food Pantry which is in dire need of our help. The food pantry regularly runs out of food to help the needy people and families in our community.
We need up to 10 volunteers to sign up for one or two hour shifts to greet shoppers and hand out flyers listing needed food items and up to 5 volunteers to fill boxes in the truck. We also need 2 volunteers for a half hour to unload the boxes at Heavenly when the food drive ends. This is a fun-filled event where you get to greet and meet some very friendly and generous shoppers from the Essex area and spend some quality time with other dedicated Rotarians.
Please, please consider volunteering for this much needed service or at least making a donation of food items or a monetary donation. There are a couple of collection bins around town. One is at Kaitlyn Raymond's State Farm office on Upper Main Street on Route 15 and the other is at the Community Bank on Pearl St. in Essex Jct. provided by Dijana Downing.
I will have a signup sheet with me at Wednesday's luncheon meeting. I may tap you on the shoulder to solicit your assistance.
WE NEED YOUR HELP. (Those of you who are proficient with social media please post the heck out of this to quickly spread the word.)
2022 Event Report from Tim Gendron:
Dear Fellow Rotarians,
On a Beautiful Saturday, October 1, 2022, our Rotary Club held another food drive to benefit the Heavenly Food Pantry. There was a wonderful response by our community to support this service project as we filled 34 boxes of non-perishable food items and goods. A rough estimate is approximately 900 pounds collected and delivered to Heavenly.
