They will be holding several food collection drives throughout the year during holiday times. They are asking for donations of non- perishable food items such as canned vegetables, canned fruit, soups, and boxed items like stuffing, mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. These items can be brought to the main office by Tuesday, 11/26. The food will be donated to a local food pantry at St. Joseph’s Church in Newton.
