This week, the Southborough Food Pantry reminded the community through social media about the need for support over the summer (when donations tend to slow down).
During the school year, food is collected for the pantry through food drives and town events. That falls off in the summer.
Plus, some families need extra support during the school breaks, when kids are no longer getting free meals through the cafeteria.
So, consider carving some time out of your summer fun to drop off items from their current needs list. (You can drop items in the donation bins at Pilgrim Church, 15 Common Street.)
Or take advantage of their options to donate funds or buy food online to be shipped to them.
Here is their full message that was posted on Facebook on Monday:
🫶🏻Donations tend to slow down this time of year, and we feel it! Please see below on how you can help🫶🏻
Also, we want to send out a special thank-you to our recurring donors! These people make a regular, ongoing donation to the pantry online every month. We appreciate you, friends!
🥫How to help🍞
There are two easy ways to help without even leaving home: shop our Amazon Wishlist and have items shipped directly to us, or make a quick online monetary donation (maybe even set up a recurring one!) so we can shop for what we need most.Visit linktr.ee/southboroughfoodpantry to give now!
(Note: our website is temporarily down, but our donation page and Amazon Wishlist are working perfectly!)
If you’re going shopping, here’s what we need most right now. Every item helps!🥰
