Claire Gilbert is reporting in The Columbia Paper the Ghent Town Board took note at its public meeting last week of the desperate need for volunteers to serve at the town food pantry and Meals on Wheels. In the month of July approximately 80 families were served through the pantry and new customers are being added each month. Food pantry volunteers are needed 9 a.m. until noon, Monday through Thursday. Volunteers for Meals on Wheels are required Monday through Friday until 11 a.m. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer is asked to call Town Clerk Michelle Radley, at 518 392 4644 or to stop by Ghent Town Hall located on Route 66 in the hamlet.
