NEIGHBOR HELPING NEIGHBOR: Local students step up to support Marblehead Food Pantry

Submitted content

Students across Marblehead once again rolled up their sleeves to support the Marblehead Food Pantry in the busy days before Thanksgiving.

The tradition began 25 years ago, when Marblehead High School first organized a drive to help stock the pantry with Thanksgiving items. The Village School joined the effort 18 years ago, followed by the Brown and Glover schools, creating a town wide campaign that has grown year after year.

On the morning of Nov. 24, students helped load cars and trucks for the “Thanksgiving elves” — Mark and Linda Mills, Rob Gorman, Seamus Kraft and Lisa Gorman — who delivered the donations to the pantry’s storage area.

Marblehead High School plans to keep the momentum going with another food collection in January.
