New Paragraph

The Williston Federated Church Missions and Social Concerns Committee will once again sponsor a community-wide Food Drive on Saturday, November 15, in the church parking lot from 9-11am for families in the Williston Schools and the Williston Food Shelf areas. 

We are blessed to have a very diverse community! As such, we have learned that providing food for Thanksgiving and the school break needs to be diverse as well. Donations of gift cards from Hannaford and Shaws so that families can purchase food items they may need and be more familiar with are very much appreciated. Gift cards may be placed in the offering plates through Sunday the 16th, mailed to the church or delivered to the drive on the 15th.

We encourage food donations for breakfast, lunch and snack foods, to supplement the families’ dietary needs. These include the following items: 

​Canned fruit, vegetables, fish or chicken, soups/stews, cereal, peanut butter/jelly/jam, pasta/sauce, macaroni and cheese, granola bars, juice -- juice boxes or 2 liter bottles, condiments (ketchup, mayo, mustard), personal care items-including feminine hygiene products, pet food, laundry detergent.

We ask that you simply give what you can. Thank you for your generous spirit and support of this important community outreach project.

If you wish to contribute, but are unable to participate on Saturday, November 15, you may leave your food donation in the boxes on the table outside Fellowship Hall. If you purchase gift cards and are unable to deliver them to the church, please mail them to: Williston Federated Church, 44 N. Williston Road, Williston, VT 05495.

For more information, please contact Sue Hook, hooksuzanne4@gmail.com, 201-694-7890 or Lesley Murray, lesleymotr@gmail.com 802-373-1611
