Jaffrey Community Supper Cancelled for August
The Jaffrey Community Supper, a monthly event supporting local residents and the Jaffrey Food Pantry, will not take place on August 28 due to a lack of sponsors and the impending start of the school year. This decision means the community will miss out on the opportunity to gather for a meal and connect with one another during the summer.
Event Details and Cancellation Reason
Typically held on the fourth Thursday of each month at the Mildred Cutter Memorial Hall at the United Church of Jaffrey, these suppers usually attract up to 80 attendees. The absence of sponsoring groups this month has prompted officials to cancel the event, which many community members look forward to each month. Initiatives like the Jaffrey Community Supper help foster community spirit while simultaneously aiding the Jaffrey Food Pantry, which serves those in need.
Upcoming Events
In light of the cancellation, organizers are actively seeking sponsors for future meals scheduled for the fall and spring of 2026. Support from local organizations and individuals is crucial for the continuation of this community benefit. The last supper was held on July 24, where attendees enjoyed a meal prepared by the Friends of the Jaffrey Food Pantry, accompanied by a team from the Jaffrey-Rindge Rotary Club, who served spaghetti, beverages, and dessert. This event was free, with optional donations collected to support the local food pantry.
Future Community Suppers
The next Jaffrey Community Supper is scheduled for May 22. This event will also take place at the Mildred Cutter Parish Hall from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.. The Jaffrey-Rindge Lions Club will host the May supper, offering a menu featuring tacos with all the necessary toppings, alongside beverages and dessert. Like previous events, this supper will also accept donations to aid the Jaffrey Food Pantry.
