This year's food drive was an awesome success!

 

With the help of our friends and families, we donated **five pallets of food** and contributed **more than $3,000** to the Fall River Food Pantry.

Staff from the pantry spent the day with us and they were tremendously helpful throughout the entire event.

Although the food drive exceeded our expectations, our total donations amount to only a small portion of the food pantry's needs for the year.

 

They are always looking for volunteers and donations, both food and monetary.

 

To get involved, you can [view the food pantry's schedule here](http://www.fall-river-mass.com/assistance/foodpantries/index.php).

 

Congratulations to Julie, grand prize winner of our raffle and recipient of a brand new 40" LCD tv.
