United Way of Tri-County Seek Your Help To Fight Hunger; Sign Up For Jack Abby United Way 5K

FRAMINGHAM – Join United Way of Tri-County’s Pearl Street Cupboard & Café this September, for Hunger Action Month, a month where people across the country join together to fight hunger. It’s a month to spread the word and take action on the hunger crisis.

The need remains at all food programs in Massachusetts, even as residents across the Commonwealth line up for their COVID-19 vaccine. The pandemic continues to have devastating effects on local hunger and poverty, especially on the poorest and most vulnerable in our community.

That is why during Hunger Action Month, the Pearl Street Cupboard & Café is providing a list of actions you can take to help alleviate the pain of hunger.

1. Donate – For every $1 dollar you donate, United Way food pantries and meal programs can provide $4 worth of nutritious food. To donate please visit their website at uwotc.org/Feed
2. Volunteer – Volunteers are the backbone of the United Way organization. To lend a hand please visit their volunteer center at www.uwotc.org/Volunteer
3. Hold a Food Drive – Ask your friends, family members, coworkers, and neighbors to donate non-perishable food items to keep food pantry shelves full. Once all the food is collected call 508.370.4922 to schedule drop off.
4. Register – Join runners at the Jack’s Abby United Way 5K. Get outside and have fun. Your registration fee will support the Pearl Street Cupboard & Café. Register today at www.uwotc.org/5K Everyone can do something to spread the word, join the conversation, and help feed hungry families.
