Holiday Parade Food Drive Wish List 2012

We are urging participants in the Dec. 1 Portsmouth Annual Illuminated Holiday Parade and spectators, alike, to bring items to contribute to the “Caring Christmas” Food Drive benefitting local food pantries. Below is a “wish list” of items that would be appreciated!

Volunteers pushing shopping carts will travel along the parade route to retrieve donations from spectators during the parade, which steps off at 6 p.m. from Plaza 800. There also will be a place to leave donations at the Reviewing Stand in Market Square.
