NEWBURYPORT — Matter Communications in Newburyport has stepped forward to organize a Tannery-wide collection for the Salvation Army Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive.
The drive continues through Nov. 17 at The Tannery Marketplace, 50 Water St., and the team at Matter Communications is encouraging area residents and businesses to join the shops at The Tannery in donating to the effort.
Items may be dropped off at Matter Communications in Mill No. 3 at The Tannery or placed in specially marked boxes located throughout The Tannery.
The Salvation Army Thanksgiving Food Drive is an annual collection to help support those in need during the holiday season. Matter Communications will be collecting donations for the drive at its office, as well as at the marked boxes located in Tannery shops. Items collected through Nov. 17 will be donated directly to the Salvation Army.
Suggested items include turkey (preferably grocery store certificates to purchase a turkey, as limited freezer space is available), stuffing, sweet potatoes, yams, white potatoes, vegetables, turkey gravy, turkey broth, dinner rolls, cranberry sauce, cake mix, pie crust, pie filling and juice.
"Giving back to the Greater Newburyport community is a priority to all of us here at Matter," Scott Signore, CEO of Matter Communications, said in a press release. "We're working with the Salvation Army to expand the scope of the food drive to the Tannery and its visitors, and we're hoping for an enthusiastic response from local businesses and residents alike. It's most important to help one another in times like these, and we're glad to help make that happen this Thanksgiving season."
