WFP DELIVERS PREPACKAGED FOOD DELIVERY FOR OUR LOCAL RESIDENTS

The WFP isn’t not only distributing bags during our scheduled pantry hours but weekly our volunteers are making prepackaged bags to be delivered to all Westford and Chelmsford Housing Authorities properties serving Westford residents.  This effort is being coordinated through the Cameron Social Services staff who provide a weekly sign-up sheet at each housing property for residents to register for weekly distribution.  On Friday, March 27th the WFP provided fifty-one bags to be handed out with the help of the Medical Reserve Corp volunteers.  To learn more about this food distribution service for income based senior housing communities please contact Annette Cerullo, COA Outreach Coordinator at 978-399-2326 or Alison Christopher, Town Social Worker at 978-399-2325.

Girl scout troop 6293 donates birthday bags!

The Westford Food Pantry thanks girl scout troop 6293 for their creative and thoughtful donation of birthday bags for kids! The troop came up with the idea of donating a birthday bag for families to take home to help make birthday celebrations a little easier. 

 

Each birthday bag is filled with cake mixes, cake pans, birthday candles, plates, napkins, and other items to celebrate each child's special day. This was a wonderful service project and a great way to help reach out to our community in need and come up with a special way to celebrate a child's special day! Great job girls!!
