Did you know that out of the 40% of Massachusetts households—approximately 1.1 million—experiencing food insecurity in 2025 – over half depended on charitable food to feed their families. The Holliston Pantry Shelf and other organizations like Wayside Youth & Family and Head Start helps those in need on a daily basis. Holliston Newcomers & Neighbors is once again helping these organizations to provide gift cards for Thanksgiving shopping. HNN is also partnering with the Holliston Lions Club who coordinates the Thanksgiving Meals for Seniors effort
To donate, visit the HNN Donations webpage https://www.hollistonnewcomers.org/Donate and select Thanksgiving or if you would prefer to mail your donation, please send a check made out to Holliston Newcomers & Neighbors to Holliston Newcomers & Neighbors, PO Box 6581, Holliston and note that it is for Thanksgiving. HNN would like to thank all the businesses and individuals that have already donated!
We are also collecting handmade Thanksgiving Cards to accompany the Senior Meal delivery which can be dropped off at 922 Highland Street, Holliston – a bin will be at the front door. Please submit your donation or drop off your cards by Sunday, November 15. If you have any questions, please email thanksgivingbaskets.newcomers@gmail.com.
