The event will held at Wesley United Methodist Church, 741 State Street, Springfield, MA 01109.
This effort proudly welcomes Aida’s Food Truck from Thorndike, MA, and is supported by generous partners including Costco Wholesale, Target, BJ’s, and CVS, who are helping to provide food and resources to families in need.
“Our city thrives when we come together,” said Nicole Coakley. “This food drive is more than just distributing meals, it’s about welcoming new partnerships, uplifting families, and strengthening the bonds within our community.”
Rev. Cummings added, “This event reflects the power of collaboration and community spirit. I am proud to help bring together businesses, faith leaders, and neighbors to support families across Springfield.”
The food drive is free and open to all Springfield residents and surrounding communities. Attendees will enjoy a variety of food provided by Aida’s Food Truck while also accessing resources aimed at reducing food insecurity in the region.
