Bear Pond Books is once again partnering with the Montpelier Business Association and Montpelier Food Pantry to hold the 6th annual "Fill the Window: Downtown Food Drive!"
Bring your non-perishable food or toiletry items to the bookstore at 77 Main Street in Montpelier during store hours from August 13th to 17th - Let's "Fill the Window" and help our neighbors.
Businesses are encouraged to bring donations to the bookstore and to share the event with their customers through interactions, on their business websites, in their newsletters, and on social media pages to garner more support.
"The food pantry is very low on food and is experiencing high demand right now, particularly from families," says Montpelier Food Pantry volunteer Liz Snell. "Unfortunately, a lot of people don't think about donating in the summer months, so the families who utilize our services really need our help now," she says.
Some of the items that are particularly in need are: peanut butter and jelly; canned or pouched tuna fish; cereal; tomato sauce (they have plenty of pasta); salad dressing (they are getting fresh vegetable donations from area farmers); condiments; personal care items like toilet paper, toothpaste, shampoo, or tampons; and cloth bags.
