Friends Feeding Friends Enters Week Eleven of Alternative Food Distribution Efforts

These unusual times have thrown us all for a loop. Switching to a different format of food distribution for the last 11 weeks has been no easy feat. We could not be more grateful for our loyal team of volunteers who, in cooperation with local law enforcement and emergency services has been providing approximately 70 households (150 Mascoma residents) with fresh and shelf-stable food every week. Thank you to our team, Canaan FD, Enfield PD, Grafton PD and other onsite volunteers. We couldn’t do it without your help!

In addition to our standard offerings we’ve managed to have a little fun along the way. We even pulled off a Pandemic Pizza Party! Two weeks ago, Friend of Mascoma treated all of our shoppers and behind the scenes volunteers to pizza from Canaan Village Pizza, Enfield House of Pizza, and Mickey's Roadside Cafe & Tavern Room. We wanted to support some of our wonderful local businesses and treat our shoppers to a special dinner. Mission accomplished!

Last week, with the help of the Evans Group Incorporated who donated several cases of ham and turkey cold cuts we were able to do a sandwich themed distribution. With bread kindly donated by King Arthur Flour Baking School At the Bread Lab, tomatoes from the New Hampshire Food Bank and lovely LEF lettuce from Willing Hands we were able to provide some healthful non-cooking alternatives for the hot spell this week.

Lori Bliss Hill and the team from Enfield House of Pizza are ready for our Pandemic Pizza Party!
