- The interact club is doing a small food drive for the Holidays. There will be a box in the lobby this Monday & Tuesday. The food will go to a Montpelier food pantry. The food pantry asked for proteins like tuna and peanut butter specifically, due to increased demand almost all of the food pantries in town are very low this year.
