Given the economy, the Berlin Community Food Closet has seen a dramatic increase of people needing food and financial support for electric and fuel bills but lacks the funds to support the increasing need. If you are able and would like to donate to this very worthy cause, please contact Matthew Olson at 658-2868 or feel free to send a check to the Berlin Community Food Closet, P.O. Box 284, Berlin, NY, 12022. Any dollar amount is greatly appreciated.
