Food Pantry Thanks Pastore and Nett Families For Donations

A release from the Wakefield Food Pantry:

Wakefield residents Flavia Pastore and her son Luke - and supported by their neighbors here in town - organized a very generous food and monetary donation drive for clients of the Wakefield Food Pantry. The Pastore family worked very closely with the Nett family, which includes Sam, Amanda, Maddie, Andrew, and Brandon.

Fast facts:

The food pantry’s receipt of community members’ generous food donations--to the tune of more than 20 bags of groceries--means clients and their families will have access to healthy foods.

And the food pantry can purchase from the Greater Boston Food Bank four times the monetary donation of $220, which means $880-worth of nutritious foods for our clients.

On behalf of our clients, our board, and our volunteers, the Wakefield Food Pantry is profoundly grateful to Flavia and Luke Pastore, the Nett family, and their neighbors for their passionate commitment to our community.

Get engaged! For community members interested in organizing a food drive, the food pantry has a toolkit—kindly developed by Flavia—for best practices. Send an e-mail to Aine.Cryts@gmail.com to schedule a community food drive today..
