What an incredible night for the North Country Missions and the Colebrook Food Pantry and the Pittsburg Pop-Up Pantry! ❤️

For the past year, I have been working on my very first large fundraising event as a board member of North Country Missions, the organization that helps fund both the Pittsburg Pop-Up Pantry and the Colebrook Pantry.

And from that idea, Boots, Barbecue & Bids was born! 🤠

I’ll be honest… bringing this event to life was a LOT of work. There were definitely moments when I felt overwhelmed and wondered how I was going to pull it all together. I am so incredibly grateful for my husband, Jamie, who was by my side through it all—helping, encouraging, building, and patiently supporting me every step of the way.

Saturday night was more than I could have imagined. We had an amazing catered barbecue dinner, live music by the Dan Morgan Band, line dancing, a country-themed evening, a photo booth built by Jamie, a candy bar, and an incredible silent auction with 56 amazing items donated by generous businesses and community members.

But the best part of the night was seeing our community come together for a cause that means so much to me.

Because every dollar raised helps us continue providing food to our neighbors through the Pittsburg Pop-Up Pantry. ❤️

I am overwhelmed by the generosity and support shown to us. To everyone who donated an item, purchased a ticket, attended the event, volunteered, bid on an auction item, helped behind the scenes, or simply shared and supported this fundraiser—thank you from the bottom of my heart.

A very special thank you to Jackson’s Lodge for generously donating the space for our event and for donating an incredible silent auction item. Your support means so much to us!

I am so incredibly proud of what our community accomplished together. My heart is absolutely bursting with gratitude.

And because the night was such a success… Boots, Barbecue & Bids will be back next year! 🤠❤️

Thank you for believing in the work we are doing and for helping us make sure our neighbors have food on their tables.

With a very grateful heart,

A little peek inside the Pittsburg Pop-Up Food Pantry ❤️

When you walk in you will be greeted by our friendly mascot Moose! Moose spends his time greeting and napping mostly. He is the only staff member who gets away with sleeping on the job! 💤💤🐾🫎

What started as a small idea has grown into something that means so much to our community. Every time I walk through these doors and see the tables filled with food, I’m reminded of just how generous and caring our North Country community is.

So many people and organizations help make this possible—through donations, funding, food drives, volunteering, and simply showing up when there is a need. And every single contribution makes a difference. ❤️

I’m incredibly grateful to be part of this effort and to be able to serve our community in this way. Seeing the pantry continue to grow and knowing that we’re helping local families is truly a blessing.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support the Pittsburg Pop-Up Food Pantry. We couldn’t do it without you! 🥰🙏🏻
