Drakewick Hosts 3rd Annual Halloween Food Drive, 10/29 - 10/31

Drakewick will be holding its 3rd annual Halloween Food Drive from Saturday, October 29 - Monday, October 31 to benefit the Interfaith Food Pantry and Chester Mendham Food Pantry. Our last two drives were very successful as we helped those in need due to the pandemic. Given the rising costs this year, there are more people in the community turning to food pantries for assistance right now. If you would like to make a donation, below is a list of the most needed items. There will be a DPW trailer on Walsingham Road near Trimingham Court (by the pond) for the collection of donations. Thank you for participating!
