Struggling with the cost of food and strong demand, the Norfolk Food Pantry has come up with a new way for donors to give by choosing items directly from its online wish list. Once selected and paid for, the items are delivered directly to the Pantry.
The Pantry, which is housed on the lower level of Battell Chapel, still welcomes donations of actual foodstuffs as well as money. Non-perishable food donations can be brought to the chapel when the pantry is open or placed in the collection boxes at the Berkshire Country Store, library, Immaculate Conception Church or in the blue bin outside the Food Pantry entrance. Checks can be mailed to the church office, PO Box 582, Norfolk CT 06058.
Hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, serving residents of Norfolk, Winsted, Winchester, Canaan, Falls Village and Colebrook.
Norfolk residents can also receive food through Fishes & Loaves in Canaan.
