Thank you to Cindi Robinson for her fresh, cage-free eggs, Bob Chutter for his fresh-picked pea pods, Sandy Riggs for fresh lettuce and to Judy Rowe for the sugar snap peas. All the fresh produce was very much appreciated by all and flew out the door. Thank you to all 520 customers who participated in the fundraiser for the Food Shelf by purchasing wine sold by Shelburne Supermarket, distributed by G. Housen North and by W.J. Deutsch. This successful first of its kind fundraiser brought in $520.
