My family had a dairy farm. We made maple syrup in the early spring and tended a garden. In summer, we did haying. Winter, feed the cows. Fall, canning. With five older brothers and two sisters, one younger, one older, there was always someone who needed help. From an early age, my role was that of a helper. I was kind of a gofer: Janie, go for a wrench. Get jars for canning. Bring the feed for the rabbits.

Sometimes we are asked about the word Christian in our name. Here's a brief explanation. ACTS began in a closet in a Christian church but, from the beginning, it's been clear that we minister to all people in need, as we are able. A good motto is: Celebrating our Christian Values; Ministering to All.

Here is a heartfelt personal statement from ACTS Food Pantry Coordinator Carol that admirably reflects our approach: I look at what we do as being the hands and feet of the Lord. I believe the best way I can do that is by sharing the love of Christ to everyone, but not pushing my beliefs on anyone.

Now that we have full winter, don't let the snow get you down. Our Thrift Store is open; our driveway is plowed; roads are open. It's OK to shop here, even if ACTS is temporarily on The Road Less Traveled.
