Last Wednesday the Sund Family joined us for a TeamMates takeover, serving at the Bennington Community Food Pantry! We unloaded boxes, stocked shelves, helped patrons shop, carry out and even assisted with the Summer Lunch Program! We had so much fun and want to encourage YOU to volunteer, donate and follow along on their page to see any updates/immediate needs.

If you are in need of summer meal assistance, please visit their page and see how you can sign up.

Special thanks to Bennington Public Schools Foundation and Bennington Woman's Club for helping meet families where they are and fulfilling a need during summer break. 💙

Bennington Food Pantry is open to the public Wednesdays from 3-6pm and Saturdays 9am-12pm. Everyone is welcome, no questions asked.
