Bill Goodison, the managing director of Bluebird Storage, emphasizes that this is not a one-time effort but a year-round cause for them. They have been actively involved in various community support campaigns, and the food collection drive is just another way to make a difference. By partnering with Gather in Portsmouth and Families in Transition in Manchester, they are directly addressing the food needs of local families.
Last year alone, Bluebird Storage delivered a significant amount of food - around 900 pounds in two truckloads - to these organizations. This shows their commitment and the impact they can have when they come together as a community.
The food donation drive is open until December 31st, giving everyone in the community ample time to contribute. Bluebird Storage's 10 locations across New Hampshire serve as convenient drop-off points, making it easy for people to participate. Non-perishable food items such as canned goods, dry pasta, and cereal are greatly appreciated.
By donating to this cause, individuals are not only helping families in need but also strengthening the social fabric of southern New Hampshire. It's a simple act that can have a profound impact on the lives of those facing food insecurity.
