Food Basket Donation Form

 

We are all related! This year the Waysmeet Center at UNH, the Office of Community Service and Learning and the Cornucopia Food Pantry are once again assembling food baskets for friends in our community during this spring. We invite everyone to put together a basket of food and fun for a family or individuals in our local area.

 

During an average year we can donate as many as 370 food baskets over special holidays, the three big ones being Thanksgiving, Winter Break and Earth Day (in the Spring). Clearly, the economic conditions, rising costs, changes in our employment structures, increasing costs for students, and a variety of other factors are making it difficult for some of our community members to make ends meet. They need your help!

 

Interested in Helping Us Out? Use the form on the back page to donate a basket.  Also you or or your office/ group/ organization/ family is also invited to make a financial donation toward the creation of a basket. We calculate that each basket costs approximately $60 to create if you wish to make a donation that way (please make checks to the Cornucopia Food Pantry). 

 

One the back of this page is the donation form along with a list of suggested items you can put in a food basket.  Baskets should be dropped off to the Waysmeet Center, 15 Mill Road in Durham NH, across from the “C’ parking lot.  Pick up of your baskets can be arranged as well (please indicate on the form who to contact to make pick up arrangements as well as the address).

 

Please fill out the form (or email your information) and send to Larry Brickner-Wood, United Campus Ministry,  862-1165, Larry.Brickner-Wood@unh.edu or Lisa Ciccotelli, Service Learning Coordinator, UNH Office of Community Service and Learning, 603-862-0079, lisa.ciccotelli@.unh.edu.   

 

The Cornucopia Food Pantry is currently open every day. If you have any questions please feel free to call us at 603-862-1165 or email us at Waysmeet@comcast.net or Larry.brickner-wood@unh.edu.  Peace to you and your loved ones.

 

Thank you for your kind Generosity!

 

Sincerely,

 

Rev. Larry Brickner-Wood,

Chaplain and Executive Director
