Postal Service Letter Carriers Helps Stephentown Food Pantry

The Stephentown Food Pantry has added to the shelves about 800 lbs. of food collected in the recent Postal Service Letter Carriers’ Food Drive. Thanks go to the carriers and all the generous people of Stephentown and East Nassau who donated food. The collection from the East Nassau Post Office was split between the Stephentown Food Pantry and the pantry in Nassau. This broad community support allows the Stephentown pantry to provide food for 8 to 14 families per week.
The Stephentown Food Pantry offers short term assistance to residents of Stephentown and Hancock, MA. The pantry is open every Saturday morning, weather permitting, from 9 to 11 am at the Stephentown Federated Church, Garfield Road. Appointments are not needed, but new clients should bring identification showing their street address, such as a current utility bill. As always, requests for help are confidential. For more information, call 518-487-8606.
This volunteer group has been serving the community since 1983. If you missed the food drive and wish to donate money to help stock the pantry, you may send checks to the Stephentown Food Pantry Treasurer at P. O. Box 387, Stephentown, NY, 12168. The pantry is also a member of the Food Bank of NENY in Latham, NY. You may request any contribution you make to them be applied to the Stephentown Food Pantry account as part of their Adopt-A-Pantry program..
