Let's Drive Out Hunger Together!
Food Drives in all offices THIS November
From November 1-16, we will be collecting non-perishable food items in all offices to benefit local food pantries. See chart below for "most needed items" in each office.
DRIVE-BY FALL Food BLITZ
SATURDAY, November 16th from 9am-12PM
On Saturday, November 16th, we will be hosting a special Drive-By Food Blitz from 9 am-12 noon in office parking lots. Drop your donations off at any Institution for Savings office (with the exception of Depot Square Ipswich and Boxford) and our volunteers will meet you in the lot -- no need to park and come into the office! See chart below for "most needed items" in each office.
Bring a bag of food….get a bag. Bring a bag filled with non-perishable items and we will give you a FREE insulated IFS tote bag to keep!
Collections will support: Community Service of Newburyport, Newbury Food Pantry, Pettengill House, Community Action, Rowley Food Pantry, Top Cupboard Food Pantry, First Congregational Church of Boxford Food Pantry, Acord Food Pantry, Beverly Bootstraps, Citizens Inn and the Open Door.
