Marlborough Boy Raises More Than $1,000 For Food Pantry
After the 10-year-old donated a gift card, his story inspired others to donate to local food relief during coronavirus.
MARLBOROUGH, MA — Opening up the back door to Nicholas Lane’s family car, you catch of glimpse of what’s inside this young boy’s heart. The nine-year-old Marlboro kid is on a mission with his family to do some good in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
It started with a $25 Target gift card Nicholas got from his grandparents. Instead of spending it on himself and his siblings, he came up with a bright and thoughtful idea one night while watching the news.
“I was looking at how people lost their jobs and they didn’t have food to eat,” Nicholas said. “I used it to buy people food.”
