2nd Annual

Holiday Food Drive 2006

Our 2nd Annual Holiday Food Drive was a Great Success!  This year’s donations helped support the Food Pantry of St. Anthony of Padua Church in New Bedford, MA.  St. Anthony of Padua Church located at 1359 Acushnet Avenue in New Bedford has a weekly Food Pantry to help those in need.  The Food Pantry is held every Thursday from 12pm-1:30pm and they get about 100-130 families in need of their services. St. Anthony of Padua gives each family a bag of groceries, bread, cereal, a hot meal served with coffee & desert and they have clothing available as well.

Thanks to the generous donations made to our Annual Food Drive, they were able to feed 188 families this year.  Not only did the families receive their meals and a bag of groceries, they also received a second bag of holiday foods and a chicken or ham.

For more information about the St. Anthony of Padua Church or to find out how you can help, contact Paula Briden (Director) at 508-993-1691.

We thank everyone for their donations in 2006 and we look forward to your support in 2007!
