Food Drive This Saturday At Stop & Shop Westport To Benefit Homes With Hope’s New Food Pantry.

Homes With Hope pantry shelves need filling at our new pantry location at 1655 Post Road East, Westport.

The Westport Police Department, Stop & Shop, the Rotary Club Of Westport and Westport Sunrise Rotary will be hosting a Food Drive to achieve this goal. This important food drive will be held on Saturday, July 20th from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Stop & Shop, 1790 Post Road East, Westport. Westport police officers and volunteers will accept non-perishable food items, and other necessities, as well as cash donations in front of Stop & Shop.

All donations will directly support Homes with Hope in order to offer support for residents dealing with food insecurity. The Gillespie Center provides food services to their resident clients, those at risk of homelessness and those in need in our community.

We thank Stop and Shop and all of our continually generous donors for their support and look forward to seeing you all at Stop & Shop!
