Seekonk and Local Schools Receive Support for Students from Snack Drive

Angels’ Care Closet, Inc., distributes food and snacks for local students

Posted

Angels’ Care Closet Inc. of Seekonk, MA hosted a snack drive from January - February to collect snacks and take-home food for local low-income students. We distributed donations to several children in the area through education and social service partners prior to February break.

We’d like to thank everyone for the outpouring of support to feed these food-insecure families during the week of February vacation when school lunch and breakfast are not available. We’d like to thank Webster Bank of Seekonk for participating in a several-branch collection with other Webster branches, as well as their continuous support as a drop off partner. We also want to thank our other drop off partners Champion Motorsports, Expedited Credentialing Services, and Seekonk Human Services, our generous resident and business donors, and volunteers for their year-round support

Given the success of the drive and the need demonstrated by our partners, we will likely host another drive to support the Spring Break timeframe for these students. We have a storefront location at 2 Olney Street, Unit 28b Seekonk, MA, with store hours 6-8 on Tuesday and Thursdays, and 10-2 on Saturdays, if you’d like to drop off a tax-deductible donation.

You may also send drop-ship donations or financial donations to 42 Pershing Ave, Seekonk, MA 02771. We also accept donations through PayPal via angelscarecloset@gmail.com.

If you are a local educator or social service worker who would like to sign up for future distributions or other support, please email angelscarecloset@gmail.com or contact our Facebook Page Angels’ Care Closet. If you have any questions, please reach out via email or Facebook.
