MELROSE — Local non-profit MelroseKind has launched a charity drive in support of local food pantries A Servant’s Heart and Pantry of Hope. MelroseKind is requesting donations of peanut butter and other nut and seed butters that will stock the shelves and give sustenance to our in-need neighbors. Peanut butter is high in protein, does not require refrigeration and has a great shelf life. It is a perfect food for tough times.

Donations can be delivered to our Kindness Porches through the month of February. Our Kindness Porches are located at: 89 Walton Park; 160 West Wyoming; 647 Main St (Follow Your Art); and 249 Grove St.

No time to deliver? Contribute through our Amazon Wish List at tinyurl.com/MelroseKindWishList. MelroseKind hosts a different drive each month. Please see our website at MelroseKind.com to review our entire year of Kindness Porch collections.
