Register O’Donnell Delivers Donations to Weymouth Food Pantry

From Norfolk County Registry of Deeds: Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O’Donnell recently delivered donations to the Weymouth Food Pantry. The contributions came from the registry staff, title examiners and the public who participated in the Registry’s Annual Holiday Food Drive from November 21st to December 30th.

The Register stated, “On behalf of the many people who contributed to the Registry’s food drive, it is my pleasure to deliver these items. He handed over such items as boxes of spaghetti, jars of sauce, canned soups, vegetable, fruits and cleaning and paper products, several of which are in high demand at the pantry.”

Director of the Weymouth Food Pantry Cas Casados noted how important donations are stating, “The Weymouth Food Pantry is a community-empowered organization, as are most food pantries. As a result, we simply cannot function without community contributions – whether food or cash or hands”.

Register O’Donnell noted that many of our neighbors are in dire need of nutrition. “A recent study by Project Bread noted that 1 out of 9 families in the Commonwealth is food insecure. And winter is the toughest season to balance a family’s budget, given home heating costs. What is very impressive about this organization is the amount of people they help out, approximately 800 visitors, on a monthly basis. Additionally, given their new strategy of distributing food directly within every village in Weymouth through pop-up pantries, there is no better time to make a donation than now.”
