OPEN CUPBOARD FOOD PANTRY
Maple Street (street behind Wilton Theatre), Wilton
(located in the white house-type building to the left of the Sacred Heart Church, one
block past the Legion. Small white church right after the funeral home)
Our Community has a wonderful food pantry for those in need. It needs our
support throughout the year, not just at Christmastime, and below is information on
what you can do to help the cause and also how you can get food and supplies if you
are in need.
The workers at the Pantry made it a point of stressing that if you are finding
it hard to make ends meet for whatever reason, please don’t second guess yourself
or think someone needs this food more than you. It is there for anyone struggling
and is generously supported by the community. It’s purpose is to be used and may
give you a little relief as you cope with making ends meet. Some of the food they
offer are non-perishable canned goods, potatoes, some refrigerated vegetables and
frozen meat at times, coffee and sugar. Also available are kitchen paper goods,
bathroom toiletries, dish soap, laundry and bath soap, toothpaste, shampoo,
deodorant, and toilet paper. Instead of pre-bagging up food and paper goods for you,
they are unique in that they let you shop their shelves for what you need.
The Pantry is open by appointment only so if you would like to pick up food,
please call any of the following people; Linda at 654-2635, Nancy at 654-9387, or
Deb at 654-6547. They try to see everyone within 24-48 hours of the call.
There are several ways we can support this Pantry. At Market Basket they
have a barrel with their name on it set up inside to the left as you enter from the
side where Redbox is located and donations are gratefully accepted. You can also
send checks to Open Cupboard Pantry, P.O. Box 111, Wilton, NH 03086.
