It’s Feinstein Time at the Food Shelf

The launch day for the Feinstein Challenge is March 1. You and your donors are partnering in the greatest grassroots effort EVER to fight hunger!
For the 11th straight year, the Feinstein Foundation is offering a $1,000,000 challenge to help fight hunger. All donations made to the Charlotte Food Shelf between March 1 and April 30 will be enhanced financially by the Feinstein Foundation.
If you have been thinking about making a donation, you are invited to do so during March and April to take full advantage of this challenge grant! Financial donations can be mailed to the Charlotte Food Shelf, 3319 Mt. Philo Road, attention: FS Director Karen Doris. Donations of all sizes are appreciated greatly. Collection boxes for non-perishable food items will be located at the Charlotte Central School near the office, in the vestry of the Congregational Church and at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church. Each food item donated will be counted as $1 towards the matching challenge grant.
Food Shelf Wish List: Peanut butter, soup, tissues, cough drops, low-sugar cereal, dish soap and feminine supplies.
As always, there are many people and organizations to thank for helping to make our community Food Shelf a helpful place. Many thanks to the Shelburne Supermarket for donating $222. (February profits from the coffee station); to Phoebe Siemer for donating bags of groceries; to Roberta F. Whitmore for her generous financial donation; to the Charlotte Organic Food Coop for donating groceries; to New Hampshire residents Susan Bayer and Michael Garner for their financial donation; and to the anonymous donors who dropped off gift certificates to the Shelburne Supermarket and the Old Brick Store.
