Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The
\nHanover Emergency Food Pantry thanks the town for the U.S. Postal Workers
\nAnnual Food Drive.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Saturday
\nMay 8th, turned gloomy and gray when the sun hid behind the clouds
\nand then it began to rain. Well, we not only had rain, but thunderstorms! What
\na day! It never dampened the spirit of the event though.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All
\nour drivers and gatherers went out with their routes in hand with sunny
\nexpectations. All the sorters and stockers worked with wet bundles (double and
\ntriple wrapped to save the generous donations) from the good citizen of
\nHanover. We thank each and every person who helped make this happen. We had
\nvolunteers ranging from senior citizens to young students and every age in between
\nmaking this event a huge success.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Later
\nin the afternoon the clouds parted, the sun came out, and some good souls “just
\ncame by” to pitch-in! What a great feeling to know that our town’s
\ncitizens can come through with flying colors year after year. We even had
\nseveral people come back after their own day’s events to help clean up. (No
\neasy task with all the wet packaging left over.)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Everything
\nwent so well that we were done by 6:00 p.m. We packed the shelves and the back
\nroom. It was truly a magnificent day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our
\nthanks also go out to the U.S. Postal Workers who did so much to help our
\npantry. What a great effort on their part. Nothing would have happened
\nwithout them. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Summer
\nis our slow season for contributions since town-wide groups and organizations
\nstop meeting then. For the past several years, the Postal Workers Food Drive
\nhas made the difference in being able to supply our clients during this time.
\nWe are extremely grateful to all for all they have done.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If
\nyour group stops meeting for the summer, any donations you wish to make to the
\npantry can be brought to the First Baptist Church, located at the corners of
\nWebster and Main Street, Mondays between 9:30 and 11:30 a.m.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With
\na heartfelt "Thank You" from the Food Pantry Co-Chairs,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

\nItz and Sally Lovett Boutin<\/p>\n
