Nichols Supports Webster-Dudley Food Share

 

As part of Nichols College holiday party held on Tuesday, December 18th, faculty and staff brought donations for the Webster-Dudley Food Share. "Being a good neighbor is serious business," Nichols Provost Ezat Parnia told attendees. "I am proud of your out-pouring of both good will and groceries to help feed the hungry in our community."

In addition, on November 7th, Sodexho Dining Services held a "Cans Across America," which collected over 175,139 pounds of can goods for shelters nationwide. On the Nichols campus, Sodexho gave a free meal for every 5 cans donated, and collected a total of 156 pounds of non-perishable goods for the Webster-Dudley Food Share. "Our effort on the Nichols campus was a great success," says Sodexho General Manager Dennis Santelli. "I would like to thank Nichols students, faculty and staff for helping to raise awareness about hunger and homelessness."

Food Share Director Donna Farlow was particularly pleased to see all the jars of peanut butter and jelly. The Webster-Dudley Food Share runs the Bread of Life Kitchen located at the United Church of Christ off Main Street in Webster, Mass. Meals are served on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Tuesday of each month from 5 to 6:30 p.m. For more information, please call 508-943-9171.
