***Watch For These Upcoming Food Bank Events***

On Saturday, May 10th the  Postal Service will be doing a food collection drive for the Thurmont Food Bank. This food drive is vitally important because it helps  provide food during summer months when donations are down.   All carriers within town limits have agreed to collect  food and some of the rural route carriers may also collect food. Please make a donation by putting canned or boxed food in a plastic bag and hanging it on your mail box. If your carrier is not participating you can  drop food off at the Thurmont Post Office Food  from May 5th- May 10th.


Gateway Market on North Franklinville Rd, just off of  Rt 15  has announced that it will hold a fund raiser for the Thurmont Food Bank. On May 18th the  proceeds from all the hand dipped ice cream will be donated to the Food  Bank. Go on over and enjoy a sweet treat while helping to feed those who are hungry.
