Food shelf thankful for extra collection effort

Dear Editor,

The Killington Food Shelf located at The Little White Church would like to thank Jay Hickory for his efforts of collecting nonperishable food, paper goods and toiletry items every weekend at the Killington transfer station. These donations fill our shelves for people in need. Jay Hickory suggested this idea and Lucretia Wonsor, our town clerk, publicized this idea.

We appreciate Killington’s generosity.

Sincerely,

Ron Willis and Nan Salamon, The Killington Food Shelf
