Good cause


"Fill the Cart, Fill the Window, Fill the Belly" will be held at Boots, Straps & More: Bargains for a Cause, at 198 Rantoul St. in Beverly, through August. The object is to fill the empty shopping cart displayed in the front window with nonperishable food for the food pantry at Beverly Bootstraps. Once the cart is full, the goal is to fill the window with food. The pantry needs rice, tuna, canned fruit, peanut butter, canned beans (all kinds) and cereal, but all types of unopened food items and toiletries are welcomed. (Check expiration dates.) Donations can be made Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, contact Jackie at 978-921-4710 or jhersey@beverlybootstraps.org.
