First they helped fight summer hunger. Then, they held a Back to School food drive to collect kid friendly snacks for children in their community. And earlier this month, Windsor at Oak Grove hosted a Thanksgiving food drive to provide holiday meals for their neighbors in need.
From November 5-24, the staff and residents of the Melrose, MA apartment community were encouraged to donate stuffing, instant mashed potatoes, canned vegetables/gravy, cranberry sauce, and other Thanksgiving-themed items to help set the table for food insecure families in the Boston area. A grand total of 300 lbs. of food was collected, which is enough to provide 250 meals!
Our partners from CORT of Boston volunteered to pick up all of the donations and delivered them to the Greater Boston Food Bank.
More than 463,000 people in eastern Massachusetts are food insecure, including 1 in 9 children. Thank you to everyone from Windsor at Oak Grove and CORT of Boston for doing your part to fight hunger during the holidays.
Start 2019 off right by hosting a Resolve to Fight Hunger food drive!
