Your donations matter

CFC receives no tax dollars. We are funded entirely by generous donations from neighbors helping neighbors.

In 2019 CFC helped 372 families. In the last 12 months we’ve served over 800.

With the help of hundreds of volunteers CFC is able to distribute about 40,000 pounds of food each month.

Your support makes a huge difference.

Reach out

We welcome donations of food, personal care items, pet food, gift cards redeemable at local stores and gas stations, gently used household items and clothing.

Helpful items to donate any time

Drop off at CFC, or any of our donation bins around town.

All donations are appreciated. Direct donations of non-food items are extra helpful. The SNAP program (Foodstamps) cannot be used to purchase anything other than food. Donations of essentials like toilet paper, toothpaste, or pet food can really help families stretch their budget.

Used Donation Items

Drop off at Town Hall only. Wednesday or Thursday 9-12.

We welcome all sorts of items. What’s old to you will be new to someone else! We ask that all items be in reasonable condition for re-use and can only be brought CFC when we are here in-person to accept them or we have made arrangements for drop-off in advance. We are unable to accept large furniture, mattresses or anything else that won’t fit in a standard pick-up truck or minivan.

  • Books and Toys- The most wanted books are popular, easy to read fiction, general interest non-fiction books for adults and just about any children’s books in reasonable condition. Jigsaw puzzles and children’s toys in good used condition are welcome too.

  • We accept clean clothing and footwear for adults or children in re-usable condition. We love keeping used clothing out of the waste-stream and using it instead to help people in our community. Casual, warm, and sturdy items are great and do not need to be in perfect condition as long as they are functional. Coats, boots, shoes, winter gear, jeans, sweaters, outdoor work and play wear in all sizes are the most needed.

  • Household goods- We can re-home lots of things as long as they are clean, functional, and in usable condition. Dishes, kitchen utensils, cookware, towels, lamps, tools, small appliances and electronics that have all needed cords and parts.
