Sandy Carriker of the North Reading Food Pantry with
Dorothy Goodwin, president of Gathering Change



The second Annual Meeting of Gathering Change, Inc. will be held on Monday, November 1, 2010
at 7:00 p.m. at the Lynnfield Meeting House in Lynnfield, MA. All are welcome to join us as we share the highlights of the past year, our vision for the future and enjoy a variety of refreshments. Our special guest speaker is Jane Good from the Wakefield
Interfaith Food Pantry.



E. Ethel Little School recently partnered with
Gathering Change, Inc. which resulted in a $1,000.00
donation to
the North Reading Food Pantry.


Gathering Change, Inc. collects spare change and then donates it to community and social programs in the town where the money was collected. GCI has offered many people in our local communities (children, adults, families, students and groups of all kinds) an opportunity to give in a way that is manageable financially and also makes
a difference in people’s lives.

Because of the hard economic times in recent years, Gathering Change, Inc. has funneled its donations to food pantries. As awareness of GCI and its mission has expanded, more and more individuals, businesses, faith communities and schools in an ever-increasing number of towns have been involved in fundraisers and food drives. Over 30 towns have benefited
from donations by their neighbors. 






The Lynnfield Meeting House is on the Lynnfield Common which lies between Main and Summer Streets in Lynnfield (proper address is 617 Main Street). Parking is available in front of the
Library or in the Town Hall parking lot.

For more information call 617-548-5357 or
