Food Drive at UMC of Westford on June 7

Supporting the Merrimack Valley Food Bank of Lowell

The United Methodist Church of Westford is holding a food drive at our church to benefit the Merrimack Valley Food Bank of Lowell on Saturday, June 7, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. The focus of the Merrimack Valley Food Bank is to help meet a person’s most profound need — adequate nutrition and freedom from hunger. Through their six hunger relief programs, they provide nutritious food to food pantries, shelters, soup kitchens and other programs that serve individuals and families in 32 cities and towns in MA and NH. We are asking for donations of nonperishable foods. These could include, but are in no way limited to, salad dressings, cooking oil, spices, coffee/tea, cereals, peanut butter, flour/sugar, canned goods, pasta, and juice boxes. Please plan to participate in this drive by bringing your food items to our church at 10 Church Street in Westford, on Saturday, June 7, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. If you have questions, please contact our church office at 978-692-4176 or office@umcw.org. We are so thankful for your food donations that will help us support the Merrimack Valley Food Bank!
