Friends of the Westford Holiday Basket Program
Dear Friends of the Westford Holiday Basket Program,
The Westford Holiday Basket Program is a collaboration between the Cameron Senior Center, St. Catherine’s Saint Vincent de Paul Society and the Westford Food Pantry to provide qualified families with food and gifts during the holiday season. Together, we provide grocery gift cards for Thanksgiving and Christmas, as well as retail gift cards to purchase Christmas gifts for families with children age 18 years old and younger. Last year, thanks to generous donors like yourself, we were able to distribute over $30,000 worth of gift cards. This provided more than 280 meals for families in our community as well as holiday gifts for their children. We invite you to join us again in helping others this holiday season. We are grateful for your donation, no matter what amount you can give.
