Good morning! We had another very busy weekend with our dinner and the pantry, but fortunately we also had the food and the people-power to take care of it. Our wonderful volunteers and donors made sure that we got all the produce, bread, pantry staples, and meat that we needed. Generous individuals, along with the food bank, the non-profit farm and orchard, and local companies like Bake'N Joy (thank you Justin!) and Catania Oils helped to make sure everyone who came will have food on their tables. Thank you to everyone who helps out, from the packers and the bakers to the servers and the drivers and donors. Every step is beautiful and so appreciated!

One Small Thing
Just a reminder that this is a new feature! Send me your “small” things...they can be shared anonymously if you wish.
Our friend Nancy D told me about one small thing she does with great love. This summer, she is cleaning all the Veterans' stones at the Townsend cemeteries

We had the Coffee Bar open again this week. As long as we can get enough people to cover it, we plan to do it every week. Being open consistently over the last 3 weeks has encouraged people to come specifically to sit and socialize. Some do it before getting their groceries so that they can spend some time, others just visit quickly and grab a cup to go on their way out. It's all good!
If you can shop for us this week, we will gratefully take any food off of our full pantry list. We can take drop-offs at the pantry (through the gray door next to the parking lot on Cambridge Street) on Wednesdays from 10 to noon, Fridays from 4 to 5, and Saturdays only from 9 to 10. Please note that these are shorter hours than before, because of parking logistics. Please do not leave food at the door outside of these hours. The bin is always available at Shop n' Save if those times don't suit. Please leave a note in the bag with your name so we know whom to thank! We are located at 21 Washington Street, Suite C, Ayer MA 01432
Keep doing those One Small Things. They matter more than you may know!
