BRAINTREE, MA — As colder weather rolls in, the town of Braintree is making sure everyone stays fed.
The town will begin collecting food for those in need later this month, with donations going to the Marge Crispin Center.
From Oct. 13 through Nov. 6, nonperishable food items can be dropped off at Braintree Town Hall, located at 1 John F. Kennedy Memorial Drive. Only certain items will be accepted.
Items the town is seeking include packages of pasta, boxed stuffing, jars of red pasta sauce and jars of turkey gravy.
The Marge Crispin Center, located at 46 Lincoln St., is a nonprofit that has helped Braintree residents facing food insecurity since the 1970s. The center is operated by Braintree Holiday/Friends Inc.
