Food Drive at Bedford Farmers Market, Monday 10/10/11
This Columbus Day, please bring a donation for the Food Pantry to the Bedford Farmers Market. We'll be collecting nonperishable and unexpired food items as well as unused full size toiletries. Thanks to the Farmers Market folks for organizing this drive!
Pantry Workers Needed
Now that the fall pantry and dinner season is in full swing, we need your help! Please consider volunteering to distribute groceries on Thursday afternoons, pick up groceries during the week, or help with a community dinner. See the “Volunteer” section for more details.
Cub Scout Food Drive a Success
Bedford Cub Scout Pack 194 recently conducted a successful food drive to support the pantry. The drive started when the scouts delivered empty grocery bags to local homes. A few days later, they picked the bags up, filled with donated food, and brought them to the pantry. The final step was to unload the items and put them in the right place on our shelves. The scouts got a good lesson in how the food pantry works, and we got some much appreciated food. Good work, guys, and thanks, moms and dads!
