As you may know, the Friends of Mascoma Foundation has switched over to a curbside/outdoors food distribution model. We will not have shoppers enter our Canaan building and we are no longer operating out of the Enfield Town Offices.
Please be advised: There will be NO PUBLIC PANTRIES on June 1st or 2nd. We will reopen in Enfield and Canaan for June 8th and 9th respectively.
More information on set up and schedule:
· Walk up only. No pre-registration is required.
· All shoppers and volunteers must have a mask. If you do not have one, one will be provided to you.
· All shoppers are to practice appropriate social distance guidelines.
· Enfield Pantry: We will reopen June 8th in Enfield at Huse Memorial Park. We will also be utilizing our van, Foodie, for distribution. The Enfield schedule is Tuesdays from 4pm-6pm.
Canaan Pantry: The Canaan schedule is Wednesdays from 4pm-6pm at the FOM headquarters behind Canaan Hardware.
· Who are these pantries for?: Our pantries are open to anyone in need of a 3-day supply of groceries that lives in one of the 5 Mascoma Valley Towns: Canaan, Dorchester, Grafton, Enfield and Orange.
· How often can someone visit the curbside pantries: Once a week at either location. If you cannot make it to either location during those hours and don’t have a family member or friend who can pick up for you, please call 603.632.4542 or email elkozma@friendsofmascoma.org our Executive Director Eula Lee Kozma.
· If you are not able to physically get to the either location due to health reasons or other serious matters please call 603.632.4542 or email elkozma@friendsofmascoma.org our Executive Director Eula Lee Kozma. Special arrangements will be made on a case by case basis.
· What information is required: If you are a new pantry shopper, for statistical tracking purposes, we ask many questions. They are simple questions that do not require any paperwork on your part. Please come prepared to verbally let us know the name of your head of household, date of birth, relationship to head of household, and town and state of residence for each member of the household, as well as the number of and ages of all people in the household. If you are an existing pantry shopper we may confirm a few details, but you will not have to answer all questions again.
