It’s that time of the year again! The leaves start turning, the weather can’t make up its mind, Daylight Savings time is almost upon us and you have to sign up for a Thanksgiving Box as well. So much to do, so little time.
Anyone that qualifies to come to Loudon Food Pantry can receive a Thanksgiving Box. But you must sign up by October 27, 2017 to get on the list for one. If you sign up after October 27th, we may not have enough food to give you a box.
Not sure if you qualify? If you live in Belmont, Canterbury, Chichester or Loudon NH click here and find out.

There are so many things to get done and prepare for the Halloween Party that we will be closed Mondays for the month of October.
READ MOREThe Hunger Sucks, Food Rocks Walk/Ride on Saturday went great! The weather was super nice! Thanks to The CUCC’s Outreach Committee, all the walkers and riders for a wonderful day! The goal for this walk was $2,000. As you can see, they surpassed their goal!
The walk originally raised $2,535 for the pantry.
More money kept coming in…now the figure is $2,725. Because we are still waiting for a few last minute donations, this figure will increase as well.
READ MOREOn Thursday we received a generous donation of 350 pounds of potatoes. Our patrons were ecstatic! Thank you, Eggshell!
As some of you may know, Monday is a day we use to prep for the week to come. Typically volunteers usually start coming in on Tuesdays. So at times, I need to do pantry or event stuff outside the pantry itself. If I will not be here for any reason it will be posted on our website and our facebook page. So please check before dropping in on a Monday.
Loudon Food Pantry will be closed at 1:00 PM today (Monday, September 25th). I have donations to pick up, administrative running around to do and Halloween Party items that need to be done.
We will re-open Tuesday, September 26th at 10:00 AM.
Thank you!
