The [8] Merrimack Valley Food Bank’s (MVFB) food drive today was a considerable success.  Along with several other Lowell residents, Patrick and members of his campaign participated in the MVFB’s food drive by dropping off grocery bags at residences in the Highlands section of Lowell throughout this past week and collecting the bags of food donated today.

We are truly grateful for the participation of the residents of the Highlands — please accept our sincere thanks for taking the time to donate to this most worthy of causes in a very tangible way.  We also wish to thank the MVFB for the opportunity to participate and for its inspiring efforts in providing nutritious food and personal care items to emergency feeding programs serving the low-income, homeless and hungry. 

Special thanks to the MVFB’s Executive Director, Amy Pessia, for narrating a wonderfully informative tour of the Merrimack Valley Food Bank, an impressive facility that takes a great deal of talent and coordination to run.  Amy, Tammy, Bob and all of the other dedicated staff and volunteers at MVFB deserve high praise for their tremendous work. 

For anyone who may have missed the food drive or would like to volunteer or donate goods or money, you can always contact the MVFB and [9] help out in any number of ways.  Please remember, too, that you may also donate to the MVFB through our website [10] here; this would not only help the MVFB, but also it would help us in our quest to prove that there are far better ways to spend money than on political campaigns (where it serves merely to corrupt, disrupt and distract).

Many thanks again to everyone involved!
