Food Pantry
 "Corn Hill" is a distant reminder for the arrival of the Pilgrims to the "New World." The Daughters of the American Revolution have placed a small marker on Corn Hill at the actual site where the Payomet Native Americans "seed corn" was discovered by the Pilgrims, who saw their perilous plight in November of 1620 and thanked "Providence" for their good fortune.
Thanksgiving is our national celebration of gratitude, generosity, and community; and in this spirit, the Truro Food Pantry offers our clients all the fixings of a traditional turkey dinner to be distributed at the Community Center. Here is how to participate in this community tradition: Donors can send a contribution to The Dexter Keezer Fund at Box 572, Truro, MA 02666. Volunteers can call Sally at 508-349-2601, and Truro residents can apply for food assistance by calling Lower Cape Outreach Council at 508-255-0270.
A note of thanks goes out to one of our generous neighbors who has supplied the pantry with fresh wild cranberries harvested locally here in Truro! |
