Due to a growing need to feed those less fortunate in our communities, the Colchester-Milton Rotary will be "filling the truck" with food donations on Town Meeting Day, March 5th at the polls in Milton. Please bring non-perishable and non-expired food items when you come to vote.
Some of the sobering statistics from the Milton Family Community Center:
"We can definitely say, with staggering statistics, that the need is there! We just looked at our January 2023 participant numbers vs. January 2024 and were blown away by a 65% increase in individuals visiting the food shelf. In January 2023, we had 77 households or 204 individuals visit. In January 2024, we had 119 households or 337 individuals visit. We were also proud to be part of such a generous community after posting our empty shelves last week on Facebook. Within 48 hours, we received close to 30 donations and 1000 pounds of food! That being said, we anticipate that February will see a similar increase and the "Fill The Truck" drive in March will be right on time."
Rotary will have volunteers on site all day to accept donations.
