COMMUNITY
SHORTS April 14, 2005 Food Pantry closes for the season On Friday, April 15, the Island Food Pantry will close after its 24th season. According to volunteer Tom Hiller, the total number of visits for the season was down slightly from recent years. Pantry coordinator Armen Hanjian extends thanks for the hard work of the more than 40 volunteers who maintain the pantry, and to the community for its donations of food and dollars. The pantry is housed in the United Methodist Church in Vineyard Haven. Mr. Hanjian reminds the public that the pantry depends entirely on local support. No federal or state aid is received. Although regular hours are ending tomorrow, those in need of emergency food should call and leave a message at 508-693-4764. Also April 15 marks the last distribution day for surplus food until next fall. Those who qualify may go to the First Baptist Church parish hall on William Street in Vineyard Haven for pantry staples to help over the summer. Call Betty Burton for more information, 508-693-5339. Walkers wanted for all-night marathon The Relay for Life will be held June 10 and 11 at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School. The event will feature teams of walkers circling the track from Friday evening through Saturday morning. Those who took part in last year’s inaugural event can’t wait to do it again. Relay for Life benefits the American Cancer Society, and the evening includes many wonderful activities such as the candle lighting ceremony to honor those who battle cancer. Need more information? There will be a meeting on Tuesday, April 26 at 5:30 pm at the Vineyard Haven Public Library. Call Kathy Stinson at 508-693-6150 for all the details.
