Truro Food Pantry
 The Truro Food Pantry provides nutritious food for 180 Truro residents who use our pantry regularly. The pantry stocks a range of healthful fresh, frozen, canned, and packaged food (more than half of which comes to us from the Greater Boston Food Bank). We are immensely grateful to our volunteers and donors, who include the Dexter Keezer Community Fund of Truro, the Surdam/Wood Family Charitable Fund, Abby Tinkham, Days Market, St. Peter's R.C. Church, Seamen's Bank, Christian Union Church, Jennifer Rose, Snowbirds Heading South, and to other thoughtful individuals who leave donations in Seamen's Bank, the Truro Library, and the Community Center baskets.
The Pantry is housed in the kitchen area of the Community Center, is available by appointment only, and is staffed five days a week by local volunteers. Truro residents can call the Lower Cape Outreach Council in Orleans, at 508-240-0694, to request an appointment. |

Commission on Disabilities
 The next time you stop by our universally accessible library, check out the exhibit of books about Autism. The collection was put together by Provincetown resident Barbara Kipper, who is a retired librarian and the mother of two children diagnosed with Autism. Autism is a "spectrum disorder," meaning you can be a little autistic or very autistic. Whether or not you know someone on the autism spectrum, you will surely find something interesting, enlightening, and entertaining among this collection. |
