In collaboration with Age Well, the Burlington School Food Project, the Elks Lodge, and Temple Sinai, among many others, HANDS (Helping and Nurturing Diverse Seniors) is pleased to offer both a delivered meal and a sit-down dinner again this year on Christmas Day.
Holiday preparations – Please mark your calendars for Friday, December 15, same place and time, to assemble the Christmas/Holiday baskets. Bring your friends and just show up, we love the help!
Families in every corner of Charlotte are very busy preparing for Thanksgiving baskets. CCS students in kindergarten through 4th grade are decorating boxes, shopping for groceries, baking and creating a special Thanksgiving meal. A turkey for each family will be donated by the Charlotte and Shelburne Rotary, a tradition started many years ago. A special thanks to Kris Gerson for coordinating the effort at CCS and Todd Whitaker, Rotary member, for coordinating with the Shelburne Market on behalf of the Food Shelf.
In an effort to make 1st and 2nd graders beam with pride, they were given seeds to plant in a garden and were encouraged to harvest all that grew. Students at Charlotte Central School even decided where to bestow the bounty.
