Dummerston Cares hosts Fuel Fund event

DUMMERSTON — A roast pork supper will be served on Saturday, Oct. 25, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Evening Star Grange in Dummerston Center, sponsored by Dummerston Cares, Dummerston Congregational Church, and Evening Star Grange.

The dinner is a benefit for the Dummerston Fuel Fund, which provides fuel assistance so that no neighbor need go without heat.

During last year's heating season, the Dummerston Fuel Fund said it assisted eight different individuals or families living in Dummerston who had fuel emergencies.

While Dummerston Cares pays for the phone hotline, the fuel fund has a separate account and depends on donations, which were depleted by April.

The menu includes roast pork, mashed potatoes with gravy, cole slaw, winter squash, homemade applesauce, and gingerbread with whipped cream.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for kids 5-12. Take-out meals are available by calling 802-254-1138. To donate or volunteer, contact Sallie May at 802-257-0544 or [email protected].

If you can't attend, mail your donation checks to Dummerston Cares Fuel Fund, 1324 Rice Farm Rd., Dummerston, VT 05301.

For fuel aid for Dummerston residents in need, call the helpline at 802-257-5800 or the Dummerston Town Office at 802-257-1496. All requests are discussed and kept in strict confidence.
