For the past five years, Newton Neighbors has organized a grocery gift card drive for the holidays. This year we have renamed our annual drive to honor the memory of our friend Bruce. Bruce was one of the original drivers of this effort along with others during the COVID pandemic, and sadly he passed away this summer while out running in his beloved West Newton neighborhood. Bruce’s family has generously chosen to remember Bruce by supporting this drive; his devotion to Newton Neighbors was an important part of who he was as a person and the Thanksgiving holiday was an important one for Bruce and his family as they often welcomed those who needed a local place to celebrate to their Thanksgiving table, bringing warmth and gratitude to the hearts of all gathered. These gift cards will be distributed through organizational partners to families in Newton and local communities.

​

A donation of any amount will help us to reach our goal of $15,000. Please visit https://www.newtonneighbors.org/donate to donate to this drive.
