Home for the Holidays... Check Out the WB Holiday Event Calendar ‘Season of Giving’ Food Drive Highlights WB Holiday Season
|
|
|
|
The Season of Giving food drive is underway at all of the WB holiday events, concerts and programs. More than ever, we are seeking food donations for the Woodbridge Township food pantries that provide for the hungry throughout the holiday season and into the New Year. We have set a goal to collect at least 10,000 pounds of non-perishable food for the Season of Giving holiday food drive by the end of the year - food that will be distributed by our local food pantries as they work to ensure that Township residents receive much needed supplies. We are once again encouraging our always generous Township residents and visitors to donate a can… or two… or three… of non-perishable food to help neighbors and families experience a healthy and happy holiday.
The Woodbridge Township ‘Season of Giving’ food drive continues at the following Woodbridge Township holiday events:
|
|
|
|
The Barron Arts Center hosts the region’s largest Holiday Train Show & Exhibit – which has become the singular stop for the Season-of-Giving food drive. The Barron Arts Center Holiday Train Display is ‘On Track’ until December 30 (closed on Christmas Day - Dec. 25.) If you’re stopping by to see the incredible train exhibit, plan to drop-off a food donation at the holiday express.
