News From The Gilmanton Food Pantry & Thrift Shop
The
recent fundraising concert held on August 29th featuring Jim Barnes,
NH Balladeer was a success thanks to our sponsors, volunteers and
support from the community.
The
Gilmanton Food Pantry would like to thank everyone involved for
their support in helping to make this a fun and successful community
event.
Volunteers Needed
Our
Food Pantry is in need of volunteers. Our volunteers help process
food orders for our patrons and sort and display clothing in our
Thrift Shop as well as other tasks. One need not live in Gilmanton
to volunteer, however, must be at least 18 years of age and be
dependable. If you or any one that you know can spare as little as
two hours, please consider volunteering at the Gilmanton Food Pantry
& Thrift Shop located in Gilmanton Iron Works, N.H.
Right
now the times that we most need help are Saturday afternoons (noon -
2 p.m.) and Wednesdays (3 p.m. - 7 p.m.). We only ask volunteers to
work two hour shifts. Two hours a week or two hours a month on a
regular basis will be most helpful. For more information, contact
Barbara Reed, Volunteer Coordinator at 556-9449. We would love to
have you join us.

estates featured in the New Hampshire program between 1902 and 1913.
The program is sponsored by the NH Humanities Council.
The

work of the Society are gratefully received.
Refreshments and social hour begins at 7 pm. The program begins
promptly at 7:30.
