Our annual Fill The Truck For The Food Shelf starts in May!
Please help The Colchester-Milton Rotary ‘Fill The Truck’ with food for local families who need your support to be hunger-free in 2024.
With rising food costs the need has never been greater than right now. Every food shelf is reporting record numbers of families in need.
We Need Your Help!
We will be collecting non-perishable food and monetary donations for the entire month of May.
100% of all food & funds donated will go to the Colchester Community Food Shelf, The Milton Family Community Center, and the Champlain Islands Food Shelf
