Stoneybrook Saddle Club holds virtual food drive
Hannah Swanson
This year, the Stoneybrook Saddle Club of Westford, an equestrian 4-H club, hosted a virtual food drive.
Amongst the COVID-19 pandemic, it was impossible to do our usual food drive at Market Basket, so we had to improvise in order to keep the event going. Each family was asked to collect as much non-perishable food as possible to donate to the Westford Food Pantry. The Westford Food Pantry has been helping keep food on our community tables for years and we are honored to contribute annually.
This year, the virtual food drive collected 640 pounds of food between our 29 members, which was 114 more than last year! We hope to keep up the drive for years to come, pandemic or not!
