Letter to the Editor:

The St. Vincent de Paul Society, a 501C3 organization, located at 1269 Union Avenue in Laconia (524-5470), has decided to close the Thrift Store for a couple of weeks due to the outbreak of the Corona Virus. The St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry (528-5683), however, will maintain its regular hours of Monday from 12 noon – 2p.m. and Wednesdays from 6p.m. to 8p.m. Food donations can be dropped off Monday through Saturday from 8 to 10 a.m.

Recorded messages will be checked on a daily basis and passed along to the appropriate individual. Please leave your name and phone number along with the purpose of the call – Financial Assistance, Furniture Pick-up, Children’s Foundation or any other business. Someone will return your call.

We are sorry for any inconvenience and hope to be open again in the near future.

Sincerely,

Sue Page

WE ARE OPEN

St Vincent De Paul food pantry located at 1269 Union Avenue in Laconia NH is committed to providing quality food to the citizens of the Lakes Region area. We are open on Mondays from 12:00 – 2:00 p.m. and on Wednesday’s from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. Please call us at 603-528-5683 if you have any questions. In response to COVID-19 we have changed our operating procedures to ensure the safety of our clients and our volunteers. Our new procedures are that we do not have face-to-face with our patrons, but we provide an easy check list for the needs of our clients. If you have visited our pantry in the past, you will simply take a number from the number dispenser, fill out the easy check list with your needs, and when your number is called, slide your check list under the door. There are boxes available outside for you to pick out your items from the outside offerings and the volunteers will fill your order to the best of our ability with available items on the inside. Once your “inside” box is finished it will be placed on a table near the garage entrance with your name on it, for you to pick up. If you are new to our pantry you will fill out a brief application form along with your check list. As always, we are here to answer any questions or assist you in any way. There is a white phone located in the lobby of the pantry that you can use to talk to a volunteer and get any questions answered. Food donations may be dropped off during our open hours and monetary donations can be mailed to PO Box 6123, Lakeport NH 03247.
