Little Free Pantry on Skokorat in Seymour posts weekly wishlist

Weekly Wishlist

SEYMOUR - Thank you EVERYONE who has been dropping off and shipping donations!

The Little Free Pantry on Skokorat remains insanely busy. We are still filling the pantry from empty several times a day, which is a new and alarming trend.

We are in desperate need of proteins of any type.

Right now our most needed items are:

PROTEINS (tuna, chicken, salmon, nuts)

microwave meals (Hormel, chef Boyardee, instant Mac and cheese)

pasta & sauce

canned vegetables

snacks (popcorn, crackers, granola bars)

We will also gladly accept fresh produce, including from your gardens.

Hygiene products like tooth brushes, tooth paste, soap, pads/tampons, and shampoo are also always needed and deeply appreciated.

You can drop off items in person by either placing them directly into the Pantry or into the black donation bin by our garage door.

You can also order through our Amazon Wishlist https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/31DQMG6QQ65HX.... OR you can have items shipped or delivered to 58 Skokorat St.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

As always, thank you SO MUCH for all your support! We love and appreciate you!

Seymour Public Library to show movie 'Paint' Friday

SEYMOUR - Join us in the lower level auditorium of Seymour Public Library to watch a movie at 10:30 a.m. July 7. Light refreshments will be served.

We'll be showing "Paint" starring Owen Wilson, Elisabeth Henry, and Paul Kosopod. It is rated PG-13 and its duration is 1 hour, 36 minutes.

Summary: Carl Nargle, Vermont's #1 public television painter, is convinced he has it all: a signature perm, custom van, and fans hanging on his every stroke - until a younger, better artist steals everything (and everyone) Carl loves. 

The Library is at 46 Church St.
