Blue Ledge Meals on Wheels Food Drive
Each November, Blue Ledge Meals on Wheels organizes a Food Drive to collect non-perishable items.
The goal is to collect and distribute enough goods so that clients have food over the winter months in case bad weather prohibits meal deliveries. This year, Amherst Dry Cleaners have generously offered their facilities as one of the two dropoff locations. "We love supporting Blue Ledge and try to help in any way we can," said Julie Mays of Amherst Dry Cleaning.
The new Amherst Chamber of Commerce building will serve as a second collection point for the food drive. "We are delighted to partner with Blue Ledge Meals on Wheels to help those in need," commented Vanessa Angus, Director of Amherst Chamber of Commerce and Tourism. "It's a great opportunity for members of the community to stop in and see our new building."
Drop off at either location - Thank you!!
