Food Drive Collects Over $1200 of Fresh Produce for Bootstraps Food Pantry

Franson Family Chiropractic fresh food drive collects over $1200 of fresh produce for Beverly Bootstraps Food Pantry.

Franson Family Chiropractic would like to thank everyone who donated to our 5th Annual Fresh Food Drive to restock the food pantry at Beverly Bootstraps!

As a result of the generosity of our amazing patients we raised $1266!

Beverly Bootstraps Food Assistance Programs provide Beverly and Manchester-by-the-Sea residents with access to food through a variety of programs. The food collected through our food drive helps provide food to those in need through the Food Pantry.

Five years ago we started doing our food drive differently! We partnered with Beverly Bootstraps to deliver a huge stash of fresh, local produce right to local families. Instead of collecting cans and boxes of processed and preserved "food", we collect money to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables from local farms and deliver them right to the food pantry.

Thank you to everyone who contributed as well as to Farmer Brown’s of Middleton, Cider Hill Farm of Amesbury, and Mehaffey Farm of Rowley, who provided nutritious produce!
