Demand at the Brookline Emergency Food Pantry is greater now than it has ever been, but the dire need did not fall on deaf ears.  The second annual Feed Brookline Drive recently culminated in a fundraising dinner at The Fireplace.  Those in attendance were a varied cross-section of the town.  Members of the business community mixed with residents, drive volunteers from BHS' Food Justice and Brookline Literacy Partnership groups, community leaders, educators, Pantry volunteers and the Pantry's manager, Jim Margolis.  The crowd attending was so large, in fact, it filled the restaurant.

There is no shortage of community spirit and compassion in Brookline.  The response to the Feed Brookline Benefit dinner has been strong from residents as well local businesses.  As a case in point, Eastern Bank has signed on as a major sponsor of the upcoming Feed Brookline Dinner to benefit the Brookline Emergency Food Pantry.

The Foundation To Be Named Later has agreed to be a major sponsor of the upcoming Feed Brookline Dinner benefitting the Brookline Emergency Food Pantry.  

Two prominent figures from the Town of Brookline have each made a donation to the Feed Brookline Benefit Dinner.  Their donations will be used to sponsor a place at the dinner for BHS students from the Brookline Literacy Partnership.  These students volunteered throughout the drive, distributing collection bins and posters, collecting donations and organizing a raffle at Brookline High to benefit the Food Pantry.
