Wakefield XC Teams Go Extra Mile For Food Pantry

Boys' and girls' cross-country teams hold successful food drive.

A release from the Wakefield Interfaith Food Pantry:

Members of the Wakefield High School Girls' and Boys' cross-country teams recently ran a highly successful drive for the Wakefield Interfaith Food Pantry’s clients. These are items clients need on a daily basis, including toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, bars of soap, laundry detergent, and dishwashing liquid.

These are items everyone in our community needs, and it’s difficult to budget for these items when money is tight.
