WAKEFIELD – Communitas Inc., located on Audubon Road, recently hosted a successful food drive in support of the Wakefield Food Pantry. The initiative was led by the Career Services department.
They gathered and delivered a generous collection of food and personal care items. Five program participants and four staff members took part in delivering all of the donations this past Thursday. Communitas gave a huge thanks to the Executive Director Maureen Miller, Volunteer Coordinator Pina Masciarelli and all of the dedicated volunteers who made this possible.
