This just in from Helen Downey:
Come join us at Shaw’s Plaza, 127 Easter Ave., Gloucester, as the members of Holy Family Parish’s St. Vincent de Paul Society conduct a “Food Drive and Bake Sale” on Saturday, August 11 from 9am to 3pm.
The Society, through dedicated volunteer efforts, services the needs of many families here on Cape Ann. We succeed in doing this only with donations of monetary value or food donations for our emergency pantry.
Shaw’s is a great supporter of community projects and we have been chosen to be the recipient of any profits received through their participation in this event. So come on over and have lunch at the concession or perhaps a home-baked goodie from the many delicious items made by our members. Hope to see you there on August 11th to support our fund raising event.
If you have any questions, contact helen at 978-283-7391. Thank you for your support!
Good Morning Gloucester 
What type of food do they need most of ? Will we be able to drop off food on this day ? Im glad you posted this early so I have time to put something together. Thanks

They can use any kind of food that is imperishable, as far as I know. So, canned food, bottled food, dry goods… Anything that lasts a long time without refrigeration. And yes, you can drop food off that day. Thanks!
