LFP Challenge Update

Lately we’ve had visitors come to LFP for a tour and they’ve noticed the amount of food we have on hand.  We explain to them that it may seem like a a lot of food but some of the cases they see are all of the same item (i.e. 20 cases of green beans) and our stock is in constant flux.

To give you an example.  Last week we serviced 43 households of varying sizes (1 – 9 members per).  It was a lower week than usual.  But in that week we gave out 2,041 pounds of food which will be used to create 1,701 meals.

Most of the food from the Gift of Lights has been given out.  So, now we need to rely on The LFP Challenge to help restock our food stores and monies until donations start to increase again (usually around October).

As of today, we still need $2,490.54 in food or funds to reach our goal of $10,000 on or by April 30th.  We need your help to to do this!  We only have one week left!  So, please spread the word and/or make a donation yourself.

Your donations are counted towards the challenge like this:

  • Donate In-Date Food (It will be counted as $1.00 per item towards our goal)
  • Donate In-Date Meat or Produce (It will be counted as $1.00 per pound towards our goal)
  • Donate Funds (It will be counted dollar for dollar)

You must let us know that you want your donation used for  The LFP Challenge.

Donations can be dropped off to Loudon Food Pantry, 30 Chichester Rd., Unit D, Loudon NH during the following hours:

Monday           10 am – 1 pm      3 pm – 6 pm
Tuesday           10 am – 1 pm      3 pm – 6 pm
Wednesday     10 am – 1 pm
Thursday         10 am – 1 pm      3 pm – 6 pm

Intervale Road Yard Sale Extravanganza to Benefit Loudon Food Pantry

The Story

When we moved here three and half years ago, we were wondering if we would ever find ourselves cramped.  Our shed, basement and garage are full of some never, once or little used items.

We are betting some of our neighbors may find themselves with a similar situation.  If so, there would be a mutual benefit to coordinating the date and time, advertisement, individual temporary yard signs and roadside directional signage, all of which will be provided for those that commit.  Hope to hear from you neighbor.

The Facts

  • When: Saturday, May 6, 2017 suggested hours of 7am-1pm
  • Rain or Shine
  • Street wide yard sale to be advertised in all the local news outlets
  • The more participation, the better the draw
  • Food items to be sold and all proceeds will be given to benefit Loudon Food Pantry (anyone wanting to sell, please let us know).  We plan to sell breakfast and lunch items.
  • No participation fee required
  • Yard Sinage and advertisement will be provided for those committed to participate
  • Any ideas, suggestions or comments are welcome

All those interested, please contact Dodge or Laurie (241 Intervale) via email, text or phone at Lestex@yahoo.com or (603) 832-8623.
