Helping our Neighbors
Aunt Dot's Place opened in August 2017 as a resource for food. Statistics provided to us by the Williston Community Food Shelf indicate that they were supporting 125 families from Essex. Those 125 families consist of around 400 individuals, including children and seniors, who simply do not have enough to eat. Our goal is provide these families with a resource within their own community where they can visit to get the help they need.
