The Chestertown/Helpers Fund Food Pantry is now a combined responsibility between the Town of Chester and the Helpers Fund. Since then we have continued helping individuals and families that are facing difficult times.

Donations for the Town of Chester Food Pantry may be made through The Helpers Fund by check or online from this website. Click here for the donations page.

The Helpers Fund also has a Scholarship Program which began in 2002. The annual disbursement of scholarships to students at North Warren Central School and Schroon Lake Central School are made to encourage and assist them in attending post secondary schools, whether they be academic, professional or trade related.

The Helpers Fund makes its programs possible by conducting a variety of fundraising events throughout the year and by accepting donations from families, individuals and businesses in the area that wish to support its goals. Our events include:

• a Dinner For Two raffle of dining gift certificates in June
     
• our Holiday Drive during November and December

We are very grateful to have received a donation from the Stewarts Shops' Holiday Match Program
