Wayland Coronavirus Relief Fund Seeks Donations

WAYLAND, MA — Wayland's coronavirus relief fund is asking for donations to help with food outreach to vulnerable residents.

The town-sponsored food pantry and COVID-19 relief fund were created last April to help vulnerable and home bound residents get food during the pandemic. Since then, the fund has helped an average of 17 local families per week access food, according to town officials.

Residents who need help provide the town with a list of groceries and supplies. Volunteers then shop in the food pantry and deliver the items to people in need. The town buys supplies from Stop & Shop and Donelan's.

If you can donate, visit the town website and follow the instructions listed on the COVID-19 relief fund page. If you know someone who needs food assistance, contact the town at 508-358-7701.
