Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O'Donnell today thanked those who contributed to the Registry's 2015 Annual Food Drive. The food drive, an annual event that runs through the holiday season, concluded this past New Year's Eve, December 31st.
"I want to express my appreciation to all who contributed to the Registry's Annual Food Drive. While the economy, particularly in eastern Massachusetts, shows continuing signs of growth, many of our fellow citizens face economic hardships, such as rent payments, medical bills, heating costs and food bills. I am thankful that so many Norfolk County residents remembered to help those less fortunate. I am also appreciative of the Registry's employees who helped make the food drive a great success. The non-perishable food collected during the food drive will help designated Norfolk County food pantries feed their clients.
"While the holiday food drive has ended, it does not stop hunger from affecting many of our neighbors. I urge residents to consider dropping off food supplies at their local pantries across Norfolk County. Pantries are requesting canned goods, breakfast cereals, pasta, sauces, toiletries and paper products. Dropping off a food donation at a local pantry can make a world of difference in helping a family in need," noted Register O'Donnell.
For a list of food pantries, please visit the Registry of Deeds website. To learn more about these and other Registry of Deeds events and initiatives, like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter.
