Ayer Police Department Food Drive

The Ayer Police Department was made aware from our local food pantry that they are anticipating food shortages by early fall. We are reaching out to you, our valued community to help us by donating nonperishable food items.  We have seen our community time and time again rally for great causes and all of us are counting on it happening again!  No one should ever go hungry!  For the entire month of August, the Ayer Police Department will be accepting donations which can be left in our lobby. All nonperishable food items will be accepted. We have provided a list of the following items that our local pantries go through the fastest.

• Boxes of cereal
• Canned soup
• Canned carrots, green beans, corn, & mixed vegetables
• Canned beans
• Canned fruit
• Instant potatoes (pouches or boxed)
• 1 or 2 lb pound bags of rice
• Peanut butter & jelly
• Box cartons of shelf stable whole milk (not evaporated)
• Toilet paper

The drive will end on August 31 and all the food provided by you will be donated to Stone Soup Kitchen Ministries, Loaves & Fishes, and the food pantry at the Senior Center. So come on in, drop the food into the grocery cart and leave knowing you helped feed someone in need!
