This November, BNL Athletics hosted a community food drive at all its school buildings. Thank you to all who so generously supported the drive.
Over the last few days, BNL’s Booster Club volunteers, athletic directors, and student-athletes delivered donated items to local pantries throughout the Berlin and New Lebanon school districts.
During the holidays, our districts’ food pantries support countless community members. BNL would like to take a moment to shine a light on these community organizations and say thank you.
If you are in need of support, please find the community pantries’ hours and locations below.
If you are able to support these pantries, either with your time or donations, please take note of the locations and hours as well.
Together, we can make a big impact.
Thank you to all our food pantry heroes/volunteers who shine bright in our communities; your generosity and kindness are something we are all very grateful for.
