Successful Martin Luther King Day of Service
Our Martin Luther King Jr Day of Service was a wonderful success.
This year the DDTC collected personal items at the Danvers Food Pantry at 12 Sylvan Street.
Volunteer Paul Brown gave the committee a tour of the pantry. Presently the pantry provides food to approximately 350 Danvers families. There were well labeled shelves of boxed and canned goods and refrigerators for meat, fresh vegetables and fruit. There is a small section for gluten-free and low sugar items. The section storing personal items was virtually bare so the DDTC decision to collect these items was timely.
DDTC members and others made a significant donation of personal Items such as soaps, deodorants, dental supplies, women products, Depends, diapers and other useful items. The pantry provided us a 6′ X 4′ by 4′ bin to place collected items which we pleasantly not only filled but many large items were stacked up on the side.
Thank you to Tom and Carla Meagher, Julie Curtis, Lou and Maria Bernazzani, Kacey Desmond, Stan Slepoy and Mary Condon. Folks from outside the committee and from Peabody contributed. It was a good time.
Thank you to everyone who donated and made the day a great success.
