The staff of the Old Forge Hardware has launched a fundraising effort for the Webb Community Food Pantry that will continue through Christmas.
Non-perishable food and household goods may be dropped off at the Hardware throughout the holiday season.
Those who wish to make a monetary donation may do so by purchasing a “soup can tag” for $1 that will be placed on the front windows at the Old Forge Hardware. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go to the Community Food Pantry through Niccolls Memorial Church and St. Bartholomew’s Catholic Church.
Additionally, the Old Forge Hardware will match all monetary donations up to a total of $500.
The Webb Community Food Pantry not only provides groceries to individuals and families, but also provides money for prescription drugs, heating fuel, and help with medical and dental expenses to those in our community who have a desperate need and have nowhere else to turn for help.
Those who wish to drop off non-perishable donations may do so by stopping by the Church office at Niccolls or by leaving them on the food pantry table in the basement of St. Bartholomew’s.
