A big thank you to the Marlborough community–as a result of your generosity, the Food Bank of Marlborough was able to give every eligible family the full fixings for a complete Thanksgiving dinner!
Starting in December, we find that we need the following donated items: cooking oil and baking supplies (sugars, flour, chocolate chips, vanilla, etc.) loaves of bread, instant potatoes, jarred spaghetti sauce and condiments such as mustard, mayonnaise and catsup. (Please make sure to inspect expiration dates; we cannot accept expired items).
We can always use bar soap, dishwashing detergent and laundry detergent, as well as toothpaste, toothbrushes and floss.
Our Home Goods donation section is requesting donations of new or clean & gently used sweatshirts, blankets, towels and sheets.
Remember that you can choose to donate using the PayPal button on the website to make a tax deductible donation so that we can purchase items in short supply from FoodShare.
Our hours are Tuesdays from 10 am to noon and from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm, and the first Saturday of each month (10 am to noon—donations only). Please bring your donation items to us during our open hours, or call us or email us to arrange to have a volunteer pick them up. Our next Saturday opening will be December 7th. Our phone number is 860-295-6008 during open hours.
