This year marks our 18th Annual High Holiday Food Drive to support the critical needs of the Lamoille Community Food Share. Last year we broke records with 100 bags! In the spirit of our High Holy Days and Tzedakah, let's shatter that number this year as we help our many neighbors in need.
Need round challah for your holiday meal table? It's waiting for you at Dedalus Wine Shop on Mountain Road. If you are a JCOGS member, proudly share that before you leave the shop.
