Bedford Community Food Drive 
The Bedford Community Food Pantry is a valuable resource for those in our community who are facing hunger or food insecurity. The Food Pantry is a 501(c)3 organization that is a well-coordinated effort between 5 area churches, local organizations, including the Bedford Lion's Club and the Boy Scouts, and individuals and families in Bedford. 
They are always in need of THESE FOOD ITEMS.  They are asking the Bedford Schools to collect certain items each month to support the Food Pantry.  At Memorial, we are asked to collect canned fruits throughout the month of November.  We will have a collection box near our entrance for the items.  Thank you all in advance for your support.
