Moosilauke Visions received a thoughtful card today from the LISTEN Food Pantry Team. Since we started partnering with The Works Cafe to share bagels with local food pantries about six months ago, the Moosilauke Visions team has delivered 2,265 pounds of bagels to LISTEN Community Services. We’ve also partnered with The Works Café to deliver an equal amount of bagels and other baked goods to other local pantries, including Friends of Mascoma Foundation and the Upper Valley Haven.

We thank Richard French and his team at The Works for making this possible.

Here are some of the topics that will be covered:
