Community Food Drive a Success!

Posted

On Saturday, October 10, 2020 a Community Food Drive was held to benefit the Rehoboth Food Pantry and Doorways, which is Seekonk’s Food Pantry. Drop off locations were Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, Rehoboth Congregational Church, Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Church, Harvest Market and the Rehoboth Food Pantry.

That same weekend Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church held its Annual Fall Food Drive. Donations were collected before each Mass.

 Dozens of volunteers, from teens to octogenarians, gave their time and energy to plan, advertise and staff these community events.

Thanks to the extreme generosity of the residents of Seekonk and Rehoboth, hundreds of bags full of groceries were donated. Additionally, cash, check and gift card donations exceeded $1,700. All donations from both food drives were equally divided between the two food pantries.

The organizers of both food drives expressed their gratitude to all the donors and volunteers that helped make these events overwhelmingly successful.
