Students Plan Presidential Primary Food Drive

The Student Director Leadership Program at the Sherborn Community Center, in conjunction with Sherborn Town Clerk, Carole Marple, has announced a food drive on Tuesday, March 6, Presidential Primary Day.

“A Place to Turn, an emergency food pantry in Natick, is always in need of non-perishable food items throughout the year,” said Marple. “But the need is especially great in the winter months. The students are reaching out to the community to ask residents to consider donating a few items when they come to vote.”

The Student Directors from the Sherborn Community Center will be at the Sherborn Town Hall lobby welcoming residents and collecting cans for this cause.

A Place To Turn is a company that provides emergency food and clothing to those in need in the Metrowest community.

Items currently in high demand include canned chicken, beef stew, juice, white rice, dry pasta, dry and canned soups, macaroni and cheese, jelly, peanut butter, dry cereal, toilet paper, tissues, and paper towels.

The voting polls are open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Tuesday but donations may be dropped off at the Town Hall Monday, March 5 through Thursday, March 8.
