PS Who should checks be mailed to at Senior Center? Kathy? With note on
cheque that it's for the Food Pantry/Russo's?

I texted with Kathy Cunningham, food bank director. She said either way
to donate is good. Russo’s gives a good discount on produce, so i will
continue that way. Seems easy. Victor will give you a confirmation number
for your card. No tax benefits for donations anymore. Dont leave card
number unless you have Victor— not on text or email. 617-719-4107. Or mail
check to Senior Center, 31 Marshall St.

and what are you doing for exercise? Josh Bright, photog and climber works

Hi all. Just checking in about this. Do we have any feedback on how the
donations went/are going? Are people continuing to donate? And is Russo's
providing the goods at a wholesale rate to the Watertown Food Pantry? That
would be very generous as it would stretch the funds further. Best,
Francesca

The Food Pantry in Watertown served 32 families, 85 individuals today in
an hour and a half! Numbers will only rise as earnings end for many. Let’s
see how the plan works this week. If people want to donate less than $25,
please email me and we’ll figure out how to combine donations when
possible. Barbara
