Annual Pelham Food Drive
Saturday, May 10, 2008

The Pelham Post Office, in conjunction with the U.S. Postal Services, will be sponsoring their Tenth Annual Food Drive on Saturday, May 10th. The Post Office will be coordinating this drive with the Pelham Good Neighbor Fund. All the food will be donated to the Pelham Food Pantry. All non-perishable food items should be placed in or outside your mailbox on Saturday, May 10th, you can drop off the food at the Post Office.

The high cost of heating their homes as well as the high gasoline prices has made it difficult for many families to meet their household expenses which has created more of a demand for food by the residents of Pelham.  The food pantry donations are down during the summer months so please be as generous as possible.

Checks payable to the Pelham Food Pantry and Mail to:
