News from the Centre Street Food Pantry:
Please continue your thoughtful and generous giving! The Pantry is in need of: diapers and wipes (adult too), canned meats and fish, meals in a can, canned soups and toilet paper and other toiletries. Also, if you have any extra brown grocery bags, they can be put to good use! Please continue to leave your donations on the right side bench in the long hall – along with vocally spreading the word about the Pantry! Thank you
