GNG Mobile Food Drive
The recreation departments of New Gloucester and Gray launched their Mobile Food Drive. The drives are stationed at various locations in the community to collect food donations to help stock the shelves of both towns’ food pantries.
One of the most unique features of the food drive is that volunteers will come to you on Friday, May 8. If you want to contribute but don’t feel comfortable leaving home, schedule a pickup donation. Volunteers will stop by and pick your donation from your driveway. To schedule a pick up, call 657-2323 or complete an online form at forms.gle/vgmyKFmes7a9oDk99.
On Saturday, May 9, the food drive will be located at the Gray Hannaford, 130 Shaker Road, Gray, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
If you have any questions, contact New Gloucester’s Parks and Recreation Director Morgan Rocheleau at mrocheleau@newgloucester.com or 926-4126 ext. 231.
