Greetings!
We have a lot going on this November! We will be having a food drive for the Open Door ahead of Thanksgiving as well as new menu items! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok to make sure you don’t miss out on any news or promos in real time! Here are some of the highlights to look out for!
Happy Humpback Food Drive
With Thanksgiving and winter holidays on the horizon, we’re going to hold a food drive to support the mission of The Open Door, the area’s leading hunger-relief organization.
Our food collection site will benefit people right here in our community.
Last year, The Open Door distributed 1.78 MILLION pounds of food—that’s
1.48 MILLION meals—to 8,486 people.
We are looking to raise 200 lbs of food this drive. To help us reach our goal, we are also having a competition amongst our Happy Humpback team to see who can raise the most food! But to make sure we reach our goal and help out as many people as possible, we are asking for your help donating food.
The Open Door’s most-needed items are canned chicken and tuna, peanut butter, healthy snacks, 100% juice/juice boxes, breakfast cereal, hearty soups, and canned fruits and veggies. They are requesting no glass containers or packaging for these items.
The Open Door serves people in Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester, Essex, Ipswich, Topsfield, Rowley, Boxford, Hamilton and Wenham, with mobile sites in Danvers in Lynn. Thousands of local people rely on their programs to help make ends meet. This holiday season, you can help The Open Door serve our neighbors by dropping off a bag of food into our collection bin at our cafe. You can drop off food any time during our normal business hours, 6am through 2pm, Wednesday through Sunday from November 1st though November 20th.
