2026 NORTHBRIDGE HOLIDAY FOOD BASKET DRIVE
A Partnership Between the Northbridge Fire Department & NAC Food Pantry
Dear Northbridge Businesses and Community Members,
Help us make the holidays brighter for Northbridge families!
Northbridge Holiday Helping Hands began at Thanksgiving 2025, when one of our firefighters and his wife generously donated 100 meals to families in need. Seeing the tremendous need, we expanded to Christmas baskets. This year, our goal is to provide meal baskets for Thanksgiving,
Christmas, and Easter, including a new toy or small gift for each child at Christmas.
We are seeking business sponsors, financial contributions, and donations to help provide holiday meals for local families.
Donations Needed:
- Financial contributions and sponsorships
- Turkeys and hams
- Grocery gift cards
- Non-perishable holiday meal ingredients from our approved donation list
- New toys or gifts for children at Christmas
To ensure every family receives an equivalent basket, food donations must follow our approved list.
Prefer to make a monetary donation? You can donate directly through Givebutter, our nonprofit fundraising platform, or through Venmo at @NFDA01588
Interested in helping? Please contact Erin McKeown at emckeown@northbridgemass.org or 508-234-8448 (option 4) to discuss sponsorship opportunities, request our food list, or coordinate a donation.
Every contribution makes a difference. Thank you for helping us bring hope and holiday cheer to families throughout Northbridge!
Sincerely,
Northbridge Fire Department
