The Brattleboro VFW Post #1034, Brattleboro Elks #1499, Masonic Lodge #102, and the American Legion Post 5 is banding together with the guidance of the Brattleboro Fire Department to buy groceries and other essential items for those who cannot and should not venture out. Volunteers will be purchasing items, bagging or boxing them, and delivering them to homes where needed in the Brattleboro area.
We are asking for donations to support this cause. 100% of the proceeds will be used to purchase items. Please make checks payable to VFW Post 1034, and include a return address so a receipt can be mailed. Mail to:
VFW Post 1034
PO Box 8233
Brattleboro, VT 05304
Very helpful
Great idea.
Q: Have these service organizations ever all worked together on a single issue before?
Nope.
A few of us here and there, but not all together on one program.
Update on Food Program
Donations are starting to come in for our program. If you, or someone you know is in need of food, please send an email to slofting@hotmail.com with contact info. I am asking that if you already receive food from Groundworks, the Retreat Farm, or another entity in town, please use them. They are able to tap into much broader resources than us.
