Bennington Community Food Pantry

10/16/2026

Gosh, these ladies! Thanks, from the bottom of our hearts, for always thinking of us!

And thanks to Hay Jay Cafe for delivering!

Bennington, you did it again! 💙

At last night's giving event, we challenged our community to bring donations for the Bennington Community Food Pantry, and as always, Bennington showed up. Cereal, pasta, canned veggies, paper towels, toilet paper, and so much more.

This morning we dropped everything off, and it's going straight to helping our neighbors.

Thank you to every single person who filled a bag, grabbed a few extra items at the store, or spread the word.

🦋This is what happens when women come together to care.

🍎 It’s apple-picking season!

Does your apple tree have an abundance of apples? We’d love to help those extras find their way to a neighbor!

What feels like a little extra to you could be a special treat for a family in our community.
