Food Bank Participates in Annual Feinstein Grant

Posted on April 16, 2014 by Foodbank

The Food Bank of Marlborough has begun its annual participation in the Feinstein Foundation’s March-April Campaign to Fight Hunger.  The Feinstein grant is a monetary grant awarded to our Food Bank and is based on the amount of items or donations that are made to our Food Bank during the grant window (ends April 30th) from a pool of grant funds.  The grant proceeds will be used to buy much needed food bank supplies. Currently, the managers are seeking donations of dry cat food, pasta, pasta sauce,baking mix/pancake mix, jello or pudding mixes, and cooking oil. Home Goods requests donations of baking/cook ware, microwave oven, and gently used towels.

Please make sure to only donate items that have not reached their expiration dates. Opened or cracked items are also not acceptable.

Donate at Marlborough Elementary School, Town Hall and more

Posted on October 11, 2013 by Foodbank

DID YOU KNOW that you can donate non-perishable food items or checks at Marlborough Elementary School every day during working hours (school year 8am-4pm: summer 8:30 am-3pm)?  Under their “Families Feeding Families” program, the administration, staff and students maintain a donation box to support the food bank.  This generous program allows donors the freedom of stopping in at the school office anytime the school is open to make a donation, or sending in items with students on the bus.  Special thanks to teacher Ellen Eastwood, the administration, other faculty and students.
