Mascoma Valley Thanksgiving Ingathering 2019
Area churches including Community Lutheran Church, Millbrook Christian Fellowship, St. Helena Parish and St. Mary's Mission Catholic Churches, and the Mascoma Valley United Methodist Parish, along with local area Scout Units and Friends of Mascoma Foundation are working together on the Annual Ingathering project. We collect canned goods and nonperishable food items for Thanksgiving Food Baskets. (Sorry, we cannot accept home-baked or home-canned food.) Please check the expiration dates, as we cannot distribute items that have expired nor can we distribute open items.
Suggested items:
pie crust mix
pumpkin pie filling
bread mixes
cranberry sauce
gravy
boxed potato dishes
canned sweet potato
stuffing mixes
peanut butter
evaporated milk
jelly
soups
canned tuna
canned chicken
cereals

winter squash
turnip
carrots, etc.
The weekend before Thanksgiving, we collect, organize and distribute Thanksgiving Baskets to neighbors in need. A turkey or precooked chicken is included in each box. Any items left over are donated to the Enfield and Canaan Friends Feeding Friends Food Pantries and the Mascoma Area Food Pantry at the Mascoma Area Senior Center in Canaan. To participate in this long-standing, worthwhile project, please place your contributions in this bag and do one of the following:
