Seeking new Community Supper Coordinator(s) for September!

It has been our pleasure to coordinate the community suppers for the past 3 years. We were honored to be offered this role and continue this long-standing Bennington tradition. As our children get older and our lives get busier, it's time for us to pass the torch.

We are looking for a Bennington resident (or residents, it's more fun with friends!) to serve as the coordinator(s). This is a Grapevine event, held at Pierce School, hosted by local community groups. The coordinator role involves communicating with all of the different parties involved to be sure the supper comes together each month.

Bennington's supper is held the 2nd Thursday of the month at Pierce School from 5:30pm-6:30pm (September through June). We are part of a rotating schedule of free suppers on Thursday evenings, each week located in a different town. We have excellent meal hosts and wonderful support from the Pierce School staff.

We are both available to help with the transition and answer any questions potential volunteers may have. You can also reach out directly to The Grapevine Family & Community Resource Center.

With Gratitude,

Jen Cawley Estle & Bethany Manley Craig

Another great evening spent with community members tonight at Pierce School enjoying our monthly community supper! Our servers were young Bennington volunteers, including members of Great Brook School's National Junior Honor Society. The food was donated by Alberto's Italian Restaurant and we scraped every pan clean! NJHS members also baked holiday treats for dessert.

A special thank you to Bennington/ConVal 4-H Clubs (Poultry Party 4-H Club & Caprine Clovers 4-H Club) who started a new meal-to-go community service project for families in need of a little extra. All 10 meal kits & 5 household essentials kits were picked up! If you want to contribute to their collection, visit their page for details.
