That's right, the Belchertown CAN food drive is only one day away!
Are you wondering how you can help local people fight hunger? This is it, and we need your help!
First, and this might be too obvious, but donating non-perishble food is one way. This year, we have special requests for protein and canned meat items, like chicken, tuna, salmon, and nut butters.
There are lots of things needed, though, including personal care items.
Also, we can accept checks, sent to this address: Belchertown CAN!, PO Box 481, Belchertown 01007.
And, last but not least, there will by CAN cans, in about 15 local businesses, where you could drop cash or a check (made out to the same above). Just a note, the monetary donations actually go a long way for the food pantries! Here's the list of generous local businesses helping out (Let's give them a hand!), and where you can find the CAN cans.
Kristina's Kafé
Cold Spring Wine & Spirits
Very Berry frozen yogurt
Dwight Station food mart
Grapevine Grille
Wong Garden
McCarthy's Pub
Min Fen Kitchen
La Trattoria
Road House Café
Healing Touch
Stop& Shop
Checker's Mini Mart and Deli
Wondering how else you might help?
Show up at the Town Hall (2 Jabish St., in the Selectmen's room) and ask the volunteers there where you can pitch in! We can always use workers to sort the groceries, stand outside with the CAN (cash) cans, and greet shoppers at the food marts to let them know what we're doing. Any amount of time helps, even just an hour, and you can have fun meeting new people, too!
More to come tomorrow for updates. Please keep checking back, "+1" this blog, and share, share away!
