Jeremiah’s Inn 28th Annual Food Drive

June 6-12 2022 

 For almost thirty years we have been collecting food, essential items, and monetary donations during the first week of June to raise awareness that hunger is a year-round issue and to highlight the increased demand for our services during the summer months when children lose access to school-provided breakfast and lunch. It also helps to stock the food pantry to help us keep up with increased demand. We are so grateful to Trecie and her team at Shaw’s on 14 West Boylston St. for allowing us to take over the store for the week. The support from shoppers was outstanding – we raised $1,400 and collected around 1,200 lbs. of food which will be distributed back to the community. Together with our sponsors, our online campaign, and other food drives such as the Heard Street School Drive put on by miss Evelyn and her 5th-grade class, this year’s food drive brought in a total of 1,600 lbs. of food and essentials and over $19,000 – and donations are still coming in!! We are so grateful to have the level of community support needed to ensure our neighbors have access to the essential items and food they need to stay healthy. Thank you, Worcester!!!
