In the Spirit of Thanksgiving: Keep the Worcester County Food Bank in Mind
There are people around you in need. A reminder about how and where give to your local pantry.
WORCESTER COUNTY, 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 Worcester County Food Bank, where you can donate or volunteer to help Worcester County residents, and also utilize services if you are in need.
WCFB "collects and inspects perishable and non-perishable food and distributes it through a network of 128 Partner Agencies to help feed hungry people living in all 60 cities and towns of Worcester County."
