Hunger Drive for Swampscott Pantry
Did anyone know there's a food pantry run out of Swampscott? One runs out of the basement of St. John's on Humphrey St. As with larger pantries and kitchens like My Brothers Table, it's open to anyone who has needs and operates out of the generosity of the community.
It's sad to admit, but Swampscott has a problem with hunger. We'd like to think we're immune to something like this, but there's a lot of people who have lost jobs, on fixed incomes or are otherwise struggling who are having trouble putting food on the table.
The Swampscott Town Democrats, of which I am a member, is sponsiring a food drive for the pantry for this entire month. We're collecting canned goods at the library. So if anyone has some extra cans laying around and isn't using them, please consider making a donation. Every little bit helps.
