Thank You Wakefield For STAMP OUT HUNGER Food Drive

Dear Wakefield Community:

Many thanks to all who participated in the recent STAMP OUT HUNGER food drive to benefit the Wakefield Food Pantry (WFP). Your donations went a long to way to help stock our pantry shelves.

I’d also like to thank all the volunteers who helped receive and sort the items and the letter carriers who picked up donations from Wakefield residents and delivered them to the pantry. This drive was a terrific example of excellent teamwork in helping our neighbors in need and fighting food insecurity in our town.

WFP can always use your non-perishable food donations as well as financial support. Here’s a list of the most needed items:

• Baked Beans
• Beef Stew (canned)
• Cereal (boxed)
• Cookie and cake mix
• Pasta (boxed)
• Pasta sauce (jarred)
• Pasta Meals (i.e Beef-a-Roni)
• Rice-a-Roni
• Rice Pilaf
• Snacks
• Soup (Progresso, Chunky)
• Tea Bags (boxed)
• Tuna (canned)
• Health and Beauty Items
• Cleaning Supplies

Our drop off locations are the Americal Civic Center (lower level), Shaw’s Supermarket, St. Joseph Church (foyer), Beebe Library, and Wakefield Town Hall. Financial donations can be sent to The Wakefield Food Pantry, PO Box 1624, Wakefield, MA 01880, via credit card or PayPal (www.wakefieldfoodpantry.org).

With gratitude,

Maureen Miller, Executive Director, Wakefield Food Pantry
