Food pantry on Westport Island closing
The following post appeared on Westport Island's town website at westportisland.us:
"Helping Hands has made the difficult decision to close the food pantry at the Wright House due to changing community needs. Co-Chairs Michael Cromwell and Linda Davis, and all current and former members of Helping Hands, deserve a big community thank you for their years of hard work running the pantry.
"Helping Hands will continue serving the community for the time being through other means such as fuel assistance and grocery gift cards. If you need help, please reach out to them, and see our resources webpage for other sources of help.
"If you would like to donate to Westport Island residents in need, the Westport Community Association has agreed to accept donations earmarked for that purpose until alternatives can be found. Please send checks made out to the Westport Community Association with 'for residents in need' in the memo line to the Town Office at 6 Fowles Point Road."
