Now that nearly a year has passed since the start of this pandemic, the Putney Foodshelf wants to recognize the tremendous support the organization has received over the past year.
This support has come in many forms: volunteerism, donor support, donations of fresh produce and eggs, and so much more. We have seen that the people who live in these hills and in this valley have deep compassion, generosity, and the capacity to meet a moment of challenge in remarkable ways. We can all take heart in knowing that.
As we wrap up our annual appeal, we find that people's generosity has exceeded our expectations. We couldn't have provided the Foodshelf's service to the community without it.
We've received donations from government stimulus checks, employee matching gifts, local business sponsorships, proceeds from benefit events and special sale items, and COVID-19 grant funding. Gifts have been given and then given again from both loyal and new donors, and our sustaining donor pool has grown to carry us forward.
