Thank you, Alere for organizing a food drive for the Scarborough Food Pantry! Between raindrops, on April 1st, pantry organizer, Ellen Parenteau and a Project GRACE volunteer helped Reuben (who organized the workplace collection) unload some very heavy boxes filled to the brim with essentials: beans, rice, pasta, PB&J, and tuna fish. Also in the mix were scarce items like applesauce, parmesan cheese, and coffee. And a whole lot of toothbrushes and toothpaste, too. Way to go, Alere - thank you! |
Save the Date! April 23rd The annual Spring Clean Up of the Scarborough Marsh is happening on Saturday, April 23rd. Stop by between 9 and Noon to lend a hand, and remember to bring a staple food item or grocery gift card for the pantry. (Click for suggestions.) Thank you!
