Register O’Donnell Announces
2022 Holiday Food Drive
through December 13th
As inflation rates continue
to rise and the cost of living becomes
an increasing challenge
for some families across Norfolk
County, Register of Deeds William
O’Donnell is asking people
to take a moment to contribute
to the Annual Registry of Deeds
Food Drive, starting Monday
November 14th and running
through Tuesday December
13th.
“There is no doubt that Norfolk
County is a desirable place
to live and to work. However,
there are people throughout the
county that are truly hurting.
This year we, as a community,
have seen an unprecedented rise
in inflation rates, especially in
the cost of food. Some Norfolk
County families are hit harder by
these increased costs and worry
about putting food on the table
this holiday season.”
Today, according to the latest
Project Bread statistics, 19.6% of
households in Massachusetts are
considered food insecure. Furthermore,
22% of children in
the state are also considered food
insecure. The increasing cost of
housing and food are likely factors
that contribute to the rising
rates of food insecurity.
Non-perishable food items
can be brought directly to the
Registry of Deeds, which is
located at 649 High Street in
Dedham. A donation bin will be
set-up in the Registry’s lobby and
food can be dropped off Monday
through Friday between 8:00AM
to 4:30PM. Suggested donations
include canned goods, breakfast
cereals, pasta, sauces, toiletries,
and paper products.
If you can’t get to the Registry
of Deeds building to drop off
food, you can check the Registry
website at www.norfolkdeeds.
org for a pantry location in your
community.
Working together, we can
truly make a huge difference this
holiday season,” concluded Register
O’Donnell.
