Project 351 ambassadors are hosting a food drive. We want your help in the fight against hunger. Do your part by giving donations of food. Donations of any quantity are greatly appreciated. The drive has already started and will go until December 12. We are asking for pop canned goods (cans that don’t require a can opener), cereal, peanut butter, pasta, nonperishables, cranberry sauce, turkey gravy, boxes of turkey stuffing, instant potatoes and brownie mix (without nuts.) The drop off locations are Old Rochester Regional Junior High School, Old Rochester Regional High School, Mattapoisett Free Public Library, Joseph H. Plumb Memorial Library, and Rochester Memorial School.
Project 351 is a nonprofit youth-led organization promoting community service and leadership. Ambassadors are selected by educators in eighth grade and go through a year of service with many projects. They are then able to join the alumni and continue serving through Project 351. All proceeds from the drive will go to The Good Shepherd Food Pantry. They have partnered with Turning Point this season and are working to help new mothers this holiday season. If you have any questions, please reach out to us through email. Our emails are sashavolkema@oldrochester.org, caitlincollier@oldrochester.org, and mollywronski@oldrochester.org.
