Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts are participating in the annual
National Good Turn, “Scouting for Food.” All food they collect will
benefit the Wellesley Food Pantry, currently serving over 210 Wellesley
households. Residents are asked to fill the plastic Roche Brothers bags
dropped at their houses the previous weekend and leave them in a location
which is visible from the street before 9 AM on 11/2. Donations may also be
brought directly to the Food Pantry. And please - no glass, perishables,
candy or expired food. For more information, see the “Scouting for Food”

WELLESLEY DENTAL GROUP'S 6TH ANNUAL CANDY DRIVE
WANT TO WIN $500 FOR YOUR PTO?
Join Drs. Ali & Ali this year by supporting Wellesley Dental Group’s 6th annual Candy Drive to benefit U.S. Troops.
“Our goal is to encourage kids to give up their extra Halloween candy and send a little sweetness overseas. For our troops, who are so far away, M&Ms and the handwritten cards children send are a little treat that remind them of home,” said Dr. Femina Ali of Wellesley Dental Group.
All Wellesley Public schools are eligible to participate. The school that donates the most candy per child will win $500 to use at their PTO’s discretion.*
Wellesley Dental Group will kick-off the drive with a Halloween Costume party on October 30th from 4-6 p.m. at their office (located at 5 Seaward Road in Wellesley, Mass.), with food, games, prizes and toothbrushes. Everyone is welcome.
They will accept candy donations between Nov. 1 and Nov. 8 and will hold a press event on the 8th at 10 a.m., which Principals, faculty, parents and students (with permission from their teachers of course) are welcome to attend.
To schedule a candy drop-off at Wellesley Dental Group, please call 781.237.9071 or e-mail smile@wellesleydentalgroup.com
*To ensure a fair competition the winner will be determined by the total weight of the candy donated divided by the total number of students attending each school. We are requesting the schools provide us with this information.
