NEWBURYPORT â The 15th annual âFill-a-Cruiserâ food drive held Dec. 5, on a cold, wet, and rainy day, still brought in hundreds of pounds of food and personal care items.
 Volunteers braved the weather and worked outside collecting donations from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.
Community members donated food items, pre-packaged food bags, cash gifts, and gift cards. At the end of the collection all of the donations were delivered to Major Todd Hughes at the Salvation Army in Newburyport, according to Lt. Matthew Simons, who oversaw the food drive.
