• Description: The Turner Food Bank is operated and manned by volunteers from the church. It is funded by very generous private donations, by a yearly donation from the taxpayers of Turner, donations from several local civic organizations such as the Scouts and the Masons and through the use of the Good Shepherd Food Bank and various government programs. The use of the Food Bank is limited to those who financially qualify under terms set by the town. Space for the Food Bank which includes freezer items as well as pantry items is provided by the Town of Turner at the Boofy Quimby Memorial Center on Route 219 in North Turner. It is open the fourth Wednesday night of each month from 6 to 8 p.m. and can be opened in case of emergency. In addition to opening the Food Bank, our volunteers also coordinate the purchase of food items, their pick-up and delivery, meeting with children's groups who wish to help there and doing the large amount of paperwork that is required by the various government programs and being responsible for the use of donations and the fiscal accounting. Anyone who would like to use the Food Bank is asked to inquire at the Turner Town Office as to eligibility and required paperwork.
