Here's a convenient way to support us - when you're in town for shopping, driving through or trick-or-treating, drop something off at the truck by the Gazebo. We are looking to stock up on toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, dish detergent and all hygiene products. Did you know that people on SNAP cannot use their benefits to purchase these - so they are one of the most needed items we carry. Thanks for all your support and Municipality of the Borough of Chester for hosting this.
