For one thing, the community food pantry at the Saint Vincent dePaul store, on Union Ave in Laconia, next to McDonalds has been busier than in the past. It is open for hungry people who are look'n to get something to eat on just two days/week, and for just two hours on each day. Hours are something like Thursdays and Saturdays, from noon to 2pm.
"Fire Law - 10 people maximum allowed inside at one time" is what's posted on the sign at the entrance, so there's usually a small group waiting outside. I was very surprised to see all the cars crammed into the little parking lot on Thursday, and counted 35 cars.
Any of you richy-rich waterfronters got any non-perishable canned food which you know you'll never eat, like an aging can or two of Alaskan salmon, or something, taking up space in the back of the cupboard? ....get the message?
