The best things in life…are not necessarily things
Celebrate the holidays with gifts of the outdoors.
Food Shelf News – Oct. 17, 2019
A big thank you to all those who donated gently used children’s winter outerwear to the Charlotte Grange rummage sale. Cindi Robinson reported on the great quality of this clothing, including several pairs of boots that were brand new. As a great example of community units working together, the Grange, instead of selling any of this clothing to fund their own needs, donated it to the Food Shelf. On behalf of the children, we extend a big thank you to the Grange and to the people who donated the clothing.
Food Shelf News – Sept. 19, 2019
The Food Shelf is again teaming up with the Grange in a winter-wear drive. We will take any winter wear that is gently used: coats, snow pants, boots, hats, gloves, scarves, warm pajamas, socks, sweaters. You name it—we can put it to very good use for children. Items can be dropped off any time at the Charlotte Library or at the Grange during the rummage sale drop off times the first week in October. Watch for posts on Front Porch Forum for specific times. For newbies in town, the Grange is located at 2898 Spear Street.
We can’t do this without you

It won’t be warm till the snow gets off the mountain, and the snow won’t get off the mountain till it gets warm.
Talk Less and Say More, Vermont Proverbs, Wolfgang Mieder May the generosity of our community send out rays of warmth to everybody.
Thank you from the Food Shelf!
Many thanks for the significant contribution made by the Charlotte Central School, which made the Holiday Boxes a huge success, benefiting 24 family recipients.
The giving season
To bring you The Charlotte News every two weeks throughout the year we depend on three sources of support: the businesses that regularly advertise with us, the volunteer writers and photographers who provide content for the paper and, importantly, the donors who contribute to our annual fundraising campaigns.
