51st Annual Cheshire Food Drive To Be Held In November

CHESHIRE, CT — Cheshire Food Drive, Inc. is currently planning for its 51st annual food drive to be held Nov. 2-3.

Each November, Cheshire Food Drive, Inc. coordinates a townwide volunteer experience. Beginning with donations collected in public schools, local businesses, and neighborhoods, the Cheshire Food Drive culminates in a 2-day gathering on the First Congregational Church Green.

During that weekend, their volunteers accept both food and monetary donations on the Church Green and in front of Stop & Shop.

The nonprofit Cheshire Food Drive, Inc. provides 100 percent of the funding for the town's Food Voucher Program administered by the Human Services Department and runs a yearly townwide food drive to help stock local food pantries.
