In the Spirit of Thanksgiving: Remember Tewksbury's Food Pantries

Tewksbury, MA—Before you load up your cart with stuffing, turkey, cranberry sauce, vegetables and pies, remember there are people in your own area who are struggling to put food on the table every day.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Patch is reminding residents about the Tewksbury Community Food Pantry. The food pantry is located at 999 Whipple Road on the Public Works Grounds.

According to the Tewksbury Food Pantry website: "If you are interested in volunteering at the Pantry, you should either send an e-mail to volunteer@tewksburypantry.org or call the Pantry 978-858-2273 to arrange a time to help out. There are several things that you can do to help, but it needs to be coordinated in advance. "

Small amounts of food donations can be dropped in the box at the front of the pantry, large food donations should be coordinating by 978-858-2273 or send an e-mail to info@tewksburypantry.org.
