Once again, we were outside the Winn-Dixie at Sturbridge throughout much of the day Saturday collecting food and cash contributions, which will go to help students in Montgomery Public Schools who may not have enough to eat.

The food that was collected will be put into book bags and given to students who may otherwise only get their school lunch to eat because of hardships at home. The food we collected includes ready-to-eat items like canned pasta, applesauce and fruit cups.This year’s collections are still being tallied. But last year, we raised $2,400 in cash as well as 85 boxes of food, which is about 4,850 pounds. In 2020, we collected 74 boxes of food and $1,100 in cash donations.
This event grows each year. Organizers say next year, they will likely need a much bigger truck, or perhaps two trucks, because of all of the food that you donated.
