Dewing Elementary School Dew-Gooders Food Pantry Collection a Success

Courtesy Photo: Dewing Elementary School PAC members Sara Cohen, Cheryl Barnes, Liane Daigle and Sheilla Castillo organized, packed up and delivered the student’s donations for the Tewksbury Community Pantry at the end of Dewing’s successful week-long food drive last week.

The Dewing Elementary School Dew-Gooders again did a wonderful job collecting donations for the Tewksbury Community Pantry. Throughout their week-long food drive, and especially on last Thursday’s “Silly Hat/Hair Day,” they were able to collect and deliver 606 items to the pantry, in addition to a check for $200. Students brought in canned goods, boxed pasta, cereal, soap, tooth brushes and more to help neighbors in need.

The Tewksbury Community Pantry, located at 999 Whipple Road, serves approximately 250 families and individuals in Tewksbury who are in need of temporary and long-term food assistance.
