Our raffle was a great success! Thanks to all those who donated prizes, purchased tickets and staffed our booth. Thanks again to Craftproducers for allowing us to have a booth at the Stowe Foliage Arts Festival.

Lamoille Trash Service on Garfield Rd had a Customer Appreciation Month by having a “CASH FOR TRASH” program. Throughout November customers entered their names for a drawing to win one of six (6) $25 gift cards to Hannaford or Price Chopper. They also donated $150.00 to Food Share! Seen here is Caroline Ballard helping Jeff Foss to pick the lucky winners. Thanks Jeff and congratulations to the winners!

The 26th Annual Turkey Trot was held in Stowe on November 17th. Lee LaBier of LaBier Realty organizes this 5K race each year, asking the participants to bring donations of food. Lee donates all of the entry fees to Lamoille Community Food Share and encourages the racers to donate generously. This year he raised over $950 plus a carload of food. Special thanks to Lee for all of his work on our behalf and to the runners for their generosity!
