***DUE TO ONGOING CONSTRUCTION IN THE AREA THAT THE FOOD PANTRY OCCUPIES, PREPACKED BAGS OF FOOD WILL BE DELIVERED TO VEHICLES USING THE DRIVE THROUGH METHOD UNTIL CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETE. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. ***

Everyone needs a little help now and then—do you need help with food?

If so, come visit the Heavenly Pantry at the First Congregational Church on Main Street in Essex Junction on Thursday, January 26, from 2:00-6:00 p.m. Residents of Essex, Essex Junction and Westford are welcome to enter the parking lot at First Congregational Church of Essex Junction using the Church Street entrance. Vehicles will be ushered to a pickup spot after showing proof of residence and identification for each family member, including children. Food will then be delivered to the vehicle's trunk.

There are no income requirements to participate, but additional food from the USDA is available once each month to those who verify their income falls below federally mandated guidelines. Everyone will leave with a trunk full of food! If you live within walking distance of the pantry and have no vehicle you may borrow a shopping cart to bring your food home, and we ask that it be returned immediately so others may use it.

Those needing food but unable to attend can call the church office at 878-5745 from 9:00-noon today through Thursday to arrange a delivery. The pantry is here for you!

Please be sure to wear face coverings when visiting the pantry to ensure the safety of yourself and those who are providing food assistance.

The next pantry will be held on Monday, February 13, from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
