YMCA of Greater Nashua to hold food drive to support two local food pantries

The holiday season always brings to light the need to help our local food pantries. Locally, food pantries are always looking for donations, and this year is especially tough. Many pantries are in need of restocking. As one of our social responsibility initiatives, the YMCA of Greater Nashua will be collecting non-perishable food items to support the Nashua Soup Kitchen and the Merrimack food pantry. The food drive will run during the month of December. Common items that are typically needed include canned vegetables and fruit, pasta, tuna, peanut butter, beans, canned soup and jelly. Donation bins will be set up in the YMCA lobbies for community donations.
Additionally, the Y is offering a membership incentive: in lieu of paying a one-time join fee (normally $50 or $100), potential members can donate a bag of non-perishable food items that will support our food drive. This membership special runs December 1 through December 31.
For more information, stop by the Nashua Y (24 Stadium Drive) or the Merrimack Y (6 Henry Clay Drive).
Help us make the holidays better for those in need.
