On Saturday Aug 24th, the Rotary Club of Nashoba Valley, held its second annual “Stuff a Cruiser” food drive, organized by Howard Kendall. Together with the support of Target Painting, Sudbury Farms supermarket, the Sudbury Police and the local community, 2 3/4 cruisers were filled with food, and almost $600.00 was collected, for the benefit of the clients of the Sudbury Community Food Pantry. These very generous donations were particularly appreciated since it came on the heels of a very busy summer.
