Box of Socks!! In honor of Dick Bole, we again collected socks of different sizes and colors, and his wife, Jeanne, decorated this box to hold them. We discovered last year that there is a great need in the schools for socks to keep those growing feet toasty warm. So we asked for socks for school-age children--at last count, there are 606 pairs of socks to be distributed between four elementary schools and the Ashfield and Charlemont food pantries.

UPDATE: The final total for our church's fundraisers for the Meals on Wheels program is over $1,800! Last Saturday, April 23, our Fellowship Hall was alive with music (vocal, guitar, ukulele, piano, violin, banjo), poetry, stories, and dance as local talents were shared...all to benefit the Meals on Wheels program provided through LifePath, formerly Franklin County Home Care. Brownies, cookies, muffins, cream puffs, and whoopee pies were enjoyed by those attending; and when the fun was over, our church will be giving $645 to the Meals on Wheels Walk-a-Thon. There were many hands helping behind the scene to offer the community this fun-filled evening, but special thanks goes to Barbara Goodchild, the "chief cook and bottle washer" of the event. In addition, we have walkers who are gathering pledges for the Walk-a-Thon event next Saturday, leaving at 8 am from the Franklin Country Technical School. It's not too late to sponsor...Alan Coutinho or Will Sencabaugh will be happy to sign you up!
500 lb Food Challenge for the Hilltown Churches Food Pantry
The Missions Committee challenged the congregation on January 17 to bring in 500 pounds by Souper Bowl Sunday (February 7) of non-perishable food to be donated to the Hilltown Churches Food Pantry. Amazingly, when it was weighed, the total was 735.5 pounds! Thank you to all who helped exceed the challenge!
