In 2014, the people of St. Mary’s Episcopal Parish in Northfield began offering free personal and household supplies (household cleaning, personal hygiene, paper goods, and baby supplies) to their neighbors in the Northfield, Roxbury, and Riverton community and providing a meal for those waiting for their supply order to be filled. The Living Supply Closet (LSC) mission now provides supplies to households containing 125 individuals from all over Central Vermont, meeting needs that have grown even more acute.
