Police drive a big win for Westport Food Pantry

Posted

Coffers are overflowing at the Westport Food Bank, after police dropped off hundreds of pounds of donated food Thursday morning (above, Sgt. Robert Rebello and Detective Michelle Donovan load up an SUV with donated food). The donations were collected by police over the past week, and it took several trips to the bank headquarters on Main Road to deliver it all. The food bank, started by the Town of Westport after the pandemic, is now an independent non-profit organization and serves hundreds of needy area residents every week.
