Lighten the Load for Pantry Visitors

Lighten the Load: Help Provide Shopping Trolleys for Our Guests

Carrying groceries home can be a challenge for many of our guests at the North End Food Pantry. For those who walk or rely on public transportation, balancing bags of food can turn into a heavy burden.

With your help, we can lighten the load!

We’re raising $2,750 to purchase 50 shopping trolleys through Walk to Shop, a Vermont-based nonprofit. These lightweight, durable trolleys will empower our guests to transport food more safely and easily. Each trolley costs just $50, and every donation—big or small—makes a difference.

Why This Matters:

• Promotes Accessibility: Makes grocery trips easier for seniors, families, and anyone walking or using public transit.

• Supports Dignity: Helps guests carry food independently and safely.

• Encourages Sustainability: Reduces reliance on single-use bags.

Let’s come together to lighten the load for our neighbors. Donate any amount today and help us meet our goal!
