Wellesley Food Pantry’s donations slow down in summer—please help!
With so many residents out of town on vacation, the Wellesley Food Pantry stocks tend to run low during the summer months. If you’re home this week, look for National Charity League (NCL) volunteers outside Roche Bros. on Saturday, July 19, 9am-3pm. The idea is to purchase any of the wish list items listed below and drop them off with NCL volunteers on your way out.
Wellesley Food Pantry priority needs
- canned peaches & pears in fruit juice
- canned beef & tomato soup
- canned chicken
- canned red & white Beans (not chick peas)
