Saugus Family YMCA to host food drive to benefit Saugus United Parish Food Pantry

  The Saugus Family YMCA will be collecting donated nonperishable food items at the Saugus Family YMCA for its annual Thanksgiving Food Drive. The drive is taking place from November 1-18. All Items will be donated to the Saugus United Parish Food Pantry. Donations can be made in the lobby of the YMCA at 298 Main St. through Nov. 19 from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 7:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on weekends.

  “We are inviting our members and the public to drop off food items for families who are struggling to make ends meet especially as food prices continue to rise,” Saugus Family YMCA Executive Director Ricky Baez said. “We’re hoping to collect items for as many people as possible, so everyone can have a healthy meal this Thanksgiving.”
