Food Drive and Book Fair Giving Opportunities Our Food Drive to support the Southborough Food Pantry is underway and will continue through the end of this week! Thank you to everyone who has already donated—your generosity makes a real difference for local families in need.
In addition, our Scholastic Book Fair is happening this week! Families who wish to share the joy of reading can purchase and donate a book at the fair—look for the collection bin near the checkout area. Together, we can help ensure every family in our community has food on the table and books to enjoy at home. Check out some Wodoward students standing near our food pantry collection in the main office. They have done an amazing job so far!
