15th Annual Food Drive Was a Success!
For Immediate Release
December 9, 2020
Newburyport, MA — The 15th annual “Fill-a-Cruiser” food drive was held on Saturday December 5th. It was a cold, wet, and rainy day but the support was still overwhelming. Volunteers braved the nasty weather and were outside collecting donations from 9 am until 3 pm. Community members donated food items, pre-packaged food bags, cash gifts, and gift cards. At the end of the collection all of the donations were delivered to Major Hughes at the Salvation Army in Newburyport. These donations will help stock the food pantry where they can be distributed to families in need. In all, the food drive raised OVER $7000 in food, cash, and gift card donations. A huge thank you to everyone who helped to support this cause. Additionally, a special thanks goes out to each of the volunteers who helped with this initiative and to Officer Matt Whitty who coordinated the effort. A job well done!! – Lt. Simons
