Jaffrey – The Jaffrey Community Supper scheduled for August 28 has been cancelled due to a lack of sponsoring groups and the onset of the school season. This monthly event, typically hosted on the fourth Thursday, draws a significant number of attendees but will not occur this month, leaving a gap for community support.
Held at the Mildred Cutter Memorial Hall at the United Church of Jaffrey, the community suppers usually attract around 80 people, providing both a meal and an opportunity for residents to connect. The event plays a crucial role in supporting the Jaffrey Food Pantry, which assists families and individuals in need within the local area.
Organizers have voiced their commitment to continuing the community suppers and are actively seeking sponsors for the fall and spring meals scheduled for 2026. The effort aims to foster community involvement and ensure that the suppers can resume in the coming months.
Previously, the most recent community supper took place on July 24 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the same location. Organized by the Friends of the Jaffrey Food Pantry, the event featured a meal served by a team from the Jaffrey-Rindge Rotary Club, who provided spaghetti, beverages, and dessert. As is typical for these events, the July supper was open to the public at no cost, although donations were accepted to help support the Jaffrey Food Pantry.
Looking ahead, the next scheduled community supper is set for May 22 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the United Church Mildred Cutter Parish Hall. The Jaffrey-Rindge Lions Club will host this meal, which will feature a taco bar complete with all the fixings, alongside beverages and dessert. Similar to past suppers, donations will be welcomed to benefit the Jaffrey Food Pantry.
The community suppers in Jaffrey have become a tradition, bringing together residents to enjoy food and community spirit. They are an important part of the local fabric and underscore the collaborative efforts of local organizations in responding to food security challenges. As the search for sponsors continues, the community is encouraged to participate and support the essential services provided by the Jaffrey Food Pantry.
With the cancellation of the August supper marking a temporary setback, the community remains hopeful for renewed participation in future suppers. Community members are urged to contribute in any way they can, whether through sponsorship or attendance, to ensure these gatherings can continue to thrive.
