This Saturday is our annual food drive "Cans Across The Park" at Buttonwood Park in New Bedford. For nearly 20 years we have collected food items on the Saturday before Thanksgiving and the need continues to be great.

Once again this year we will try to stretch a line of canned goods through the middle of the park from Brownell Avenue to Rockdale Avenue. For the past couple of years we have made it all the way through then all the way BACK!  We can't do it without you. Could you please pick up a few extra items when you shop this week?

We will be at the park on Saturday from 10am to 2pm. Come by and meet me, Neal White, Jack Peterson, Phil Paleologos, Taylor Cormier and Jim Phillips along with some of our colleagues from Fun107. If you can't make it Saturday you can drop off your donations at WBSM, 22 Sconticut Neck Rd, Fairhaven.

All food collected goes to the American Red Cross and local church pantries.
