Club president John Abry presented the check to Marcia Devino president of the Colchester Community Food Shelf, Nicole Sener Executive Director of the Milton Family Community Center, and Suzanne Curran board member of the Champlain Islands Food Shelf. Marcia, Nicole, and Suzanne were extremely appreciative and all stated that the need is greater than it has ever been. The check was divided among the food shelves based on each community’s population.
