The Pawlet Community Food Cupboard
The Pawlet Community Food Cupboard continues to grow and serve our neighbors in need, twice a month, on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month from 3:30-5:30 pm.  We are located in the community room of the Pawlet Community Church and are open and welcoming to all, including those from neighboring communities. 

Those in need of assistance with food will find fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as dairy, proteins, grains and a wide variety of non-perishable items.  The atmosphere is warm and nonjudgemental.

We are also in the process of partnering with Rutland County Health Partners, who will be bringing their Mobile Health Clinic to our site on the second Thursday of each month, hopefully starting  June 12th.  More information will be forthcoming soon.

If you are interested in volunteering or simply learning more about the Food Cupboard or the Mobile Clinic, feel free to stop during our distribution times and meet our team.
