Randolph Area Food Shelf -- Randolph Town Report 2011
Serving the community since 1977,
the mission of the Food Shelf is for the charitable purpose of providing food
supplies to people in need in the Central Vermont communities of Randolph, Braintree, Brookfield, and East Granville.
In 2009 we provided food supplies
for over 350 individual families in our service area, of
which approx. 75% of those served, are from Randolph. These 350 families represent over
1000 people, and are allowed to visit the Food Shelf twice each month. The Randolph
Area Food Shelf is lead by a Board of Trustees and operates solely from the
help of over 50 dedicated volunteers.There is no paid staff.
Our primary source of income comes from our annual
letter generating donations from our service areas.After over 30 years of being hosted by
Bethany Church we have outgrown our space and the church is expanding.In November, with the support and backing of
Randolph National Bank, we secured a loan and purchased 12 Prince St., Unit 3, and have since
reopened at this new location.We are
planning a campaign to repay the loan.
Money appropriated from the Town of Randolph by vote at town meeting will help us
maintain and continue our mission, helping to ensure that no one in our
community goes hungry in these tough economic times. As the need for our
services increase, the town appropriation is one way to help us meet our annual
financial expenses.
Many thanks to the Randolph area community for your support! For
