Thank you to Froggy 102.7 for having Pam on today!

Many of you may have watched Pam’s Facebook Live yesterday here on the Middlebury Food Pantry page regarding one of our volunteers who lost her home in a devastating fire earlier this week.

We wanted to share a little more information, as there is still an urgent need to help this local family.

Our volunteer has lived in Middlebury for the past eight years and her son attends Middlebury Schools, preparing to enter Heritage Intermediate School this fall. Early Tuesday morning, they woke up to find their duplex engulfed in flames. Thankfully, they escaped safely and were able to save their clothing, but much of their home was destroyed and the remainder suffered significant smoke damage.

Right now, the greatest need is stable housing.
We are working to help place the family in an extended-stay hotel with a kitchen so they can have a safe and stable place to stay while longer-term housing is arranged. The family hopes to remain in the Middlebury area so her son can continue attending school locally.

To make this even more difficult, she is currently five months pregnant, and the stress and uncertainty have been overwhelming.

This is one of our own. A volunteer. A friend. A member of our community who has spent time helping others, and now needs our help.

At this time, clothing is not a major need. Financial donations toward temporary housing and immediate living expenses would make the biggest impact right now.

If you would like to help, please message the Middlebury Food Pantry directly or contact us for donation information.

Thank you for supporting this family during such a heartbreaking time.

Our Garden Is Planted, But We Still Need Your Help!

Thanks to Grant, our Volunteer Coordinator Timshel, and her husband, we were able to get the entire garden planted yesterday in just 4 hours!

Now we’re looking for volunteers to help us finish the job by laying 120 bags of mulch. If you’d like to lend a hand, please reach out to us!

Thank you for continuing to help us grow and serve our community.

CAN YOU MEET ONE OF THESE NEEDS?

Middlebury Food Pantry is asking for immediate help with two practical needs for local neighbors.

1. A new or gently used Crockpot for a single mom of six.
2. A new or gently used lightweight electric weed-eater for an older woman who lives alone and needs help maintaining her yard.

We are a food pantry, but when neighbors are in need, we do our best to show up.

If you can donate either item today or in the next few days, please contact Middlebury Food Pantry as soon as possible. Your help would make an immediate difference.

Thank you to the Middlebury community for leaving food items by your mailboxes today.

With the help of 39 volunteers, more than 10,000 pounds of food was collected and rescued for local families.

It is never lost on us that even when times are hard for so many, people still show up in the ways they can to care for their neighbors.

Thank you for helping stock the shelves and support our community.
