Part of our 2013 holiday guide.

While you're preparing for Thanksgiving and looking ahead to Christmas, don't forget to help out those less fortunate. 

Below we have provided a list of places in Hingham where residents can donate food. If we missed a place, please mention it in the comments and we will include it in our list.
