Greg Desrosiers/TSM[/caption]With the help of some great volunteers and wonderful donors, our 22nd annual "Cans Across the Park" was a huge success.

With over 10,000 pounds of food collected, we stretched those canned goods from Brownell Ave to Rockdale Ave and back again for over a half mile of donations.

Thousands of items were donated by people from all over SouthCoast.

Matt Macalini and his son made sure to stop by for the first time to do their part.

Volunteers from greater New Bedford Voc Tech, Our Sisters School, and Fairhaven Girl Scout Troop 85062 helped line up the donations along the pathway.

Along with all the "people food" going to the American Red Cross and United Way, a few hundred pounds of pet food was collected to help feed some local four legged friends.
