Thanksgiving is around the corner and for us, filling our bellies with delicious turkey and all the trimmings is rarely an issue. However, as we are aware, so many in our community and surrounding towns are still going hungry. For many, hunger has recently become even more of a challenge. They might ask themselves, “Do we eat or pay the rent? Do we eat or have heat in our homes?” As Rotarians, we know that we can make a difference in the lives of others. The current government shutdown puts SNAP benefits at the risk of delay putting more pressure on local food pantries. Please open your hearts and wallets. The Northfield Food Pantry requests the following for the coming month. If you cannot purchase these items, any quality food will help and of course, you can always make a donation. Thank you all so much. Here is the list from the Food Pantry: Hot Tea (bags) - Chicken Broth - Vegetable Broth - Saltine Crackers - Tissues - Electrolyte Drinks
