Food pantry to roll. Thanks for helping needy families

To the Editor:

We wanted to take a moment to say thank-you to everyone in our community who helped our food pantry provide Easter meals and baskets to our needy families. A special thanks goes to the Helderberg Kiwanis.

The Kiwanis provided 24 meals for families to prepare. The meals included: ham, potato, carrots, cabbage, and rolls. They came to the pantry and put all the baskets of food together and we are so grateful for the support they give to our program.

We are also excited to be rolling out our Mobile Food Pantry. Through a grant, we have been able to purchase a van and provide a driver to deliver food pantries to families that may not be able to get to our location.

The Mobile Food Pantry will be out delivering every Tuesday. If you know of someone who is in need of a pantry or mobile food pantry, please have them call our office at (518)797-5256. We have many other resources available to families in the Hilltown community.
