-A quart of milk, cheese, and half a dozen eggs.
We are committed to continuing our open hours during this time. If you can’t make it to open hours, please call 211 for assistance. Leave a message. Someone will call you back!
Do you have any questions about tonight’s open hours? Please email Hannah at putneyfoodshelf@gmail.com. We’re so grateful for the support of our community and that we’re able to support you, too.

Wondering how you can help? Do you need help? With the blessing of our selectboard and town personnel, volunteers Ruby McAdoo and Jaime Contois have created a form we can use for offering/requesting mutual aid. Please consider filling out the form and share concerns you have about your own needs and/or ways you would like to volunteer to offer support.
Form: http://bit.ly/PutneyMutualAid
We have gotten clear direction that all action will be taken with the approved guidance of the Emergency Management Director (Tom Goddard, Putney’s Fire Chief). This effort to coordinate mutual aid using this form is a way to gather information only.
