Monticello Women of Today members are helping with Kids Kitchen from June through July in 2017.  The Monticello Foodshelf provides a variety of food items to be distributed this summer to families in the community.  About 230-250 kids are served each week!  Thanks to all our volunteers.  This is another example of the Monticello community pulling together to help out.

If you are interested in submitting an application for our 2017 Fall Craft Show on November 4th, please go to the Craft Show tab on our website.
