Annual Springtime Town-Wide Food Drive
The Medfield Food Cupboard is holding its annual springtime town-wide food drive. The collection provides an opportunity for the community to come together and support Medfield neighbors who are experiencing food insecurity.
"Food items collected in our May town-wide food drive are so appreciated,” noted Abby Marble, Director of Food Donations for the Medfield Food Cupboard. "The items we receive will sustain the Food Cupboard through the summer months. Today we facing a shortage of several key shelf-stable items, and to help fill this gap, we are reaching out through a month-long, targeted food drive, starting May 1st.”
