The Conway Daily Sun Volunteer Paul Weld shows the processing area of the Conway Village Congregational Church (the Brown Church) food pantry Monday. The food pantry has seen an increase in families served and as of August had provided 27,000 meals to community members in need. Conway Elementary School students have been collecting food and will deliver it to the panty on Wednesday in a fun relay from the school to the basement of the church. The pantry will also be recipient of some of the food collected at the annual Mount Washington Radio/Vaughan Community Service food drive also on Wednesday. The food drive will be from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday at the First Church of Christ in North Conway.
