CONWAY — Thursday’s groundbreaking for the soon-to-be-built Vaughan Community Services’ food pantry and clothing depot in North Conway Village was made possible only by the generosity of local donors and foundations.
So said Dot Seybold, president of the Vaughan board of directors, in remarks delivered at the lot between the First Church of Christ, Congregational and Bavarian Chocolate Haus that until last week was the site of the old Clothing Depot Building and is where the new edifice will go up.
