🚛 Fill The Truck – Fill Their Plates 🥫
The Colchester-Milton Rotary Needs You This May!
Times are tough, and for many local families, putting food on the table has never been harder.
This May, we're calling on you to help us Fill The Truck For The Food Shelf — and fill hearts with hope.
Here’s the reality:
Food prices are skyrocketing.
Our local food shelves are seeing record numbers of families asking for help.
The need isn’t just big — it’s urgent.
You can make a real difference. Right now.
🌟 We’re collecting non-perishable food items and monetary donations all month long.
🌟 100% of every donation goes directly to:
The Colchester Community Food Shelf
The Milton Family Community Center
The Champlain Islands Food Shelf
Together, we can make sure no family in our community faces an empty pantry in 2025.
🛒 Bring your donations. Spread the word. Fill the truck. Change lives.
Because no one should go hungry—not on our watch.
