Maynard Backpack Program - Food for Children

04/05/2026

Easter and Passover are more special thanks to our dear friend Michelle Rose, Director of Youth Ministries at St John Lutheran Church ELCA. Each year, Michelle and her youth group create wonderful goody bags of toys and treats for our Backpack Program recipients. The bags are always adorable, thoughtful and sure to delight!

Thank you, St John Lutheran Church for your continued love and support! 🩷💚🩷💚

Today, I got some help with my chorin' from Fowler 8th grader, Charlie O'Brien. And notably, he offered assistance without being asked.

Who says kids today are lazy? Not me!

It's one of my favorite times of the year - the annual visit from the kids of The Community School. I'm grateful for your donation to our program of fruit cups and of course, I love seeing your little faces! Thank you, Community School!

I recently added cereal cups to our Amazon Wishlist, as we've gotten away from the full size boxes of cereal (for various reasons). Shortly thereafter, I received an influx of deliveries from some very thoughtful and generous people!

Maynard Food Pantry Pet Food Drive was a huge success! Thank you to the generous folks who sent or dropped up dog and cat food! This list is not complete, but you know who you are and we are grateful!

WATER BOTTLES AND SOFT SIDED LUNCH BAGS!
Friends, there is a need for these items for some students in the district. If you have any new or very gently used water bottles (stainless steel or plastic) and/or lunch bags, we would love them!! No need to buy any, as my goal is 20.

DROP OFF: the bin in front of the Maynard Food Pantry, 82 Main St. or my porch at 43 Glendale St.

YIKES! It's that time of year already?!

Once again our dear friend, Lindsay Yanklowski, has generously donated backpacks of school supplies for Maynard Public Schools elementary students. These are basic supplies like pencils, crayons and markers.

Distribution is Monday, August 18 and Monday, August 25 during Maynard Food Pantry normal hours of 9-12pm. I'm sorry, but no holds.

Please share!
