In the Spirit of Thanksgiving: Remember Woburn's Food Pantry

There are people around you in need. A reminder about how and where give to your local pantry.

WOBURN, 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 Woburn Council of Social Concern food pantry, where you can donate or volunteer.

The SCI food pantry is located at 2 Merrimac Street, and also serves Winchester residents.
