Right now, a lot of people could use extra help, and that is particularly true for the most vulnerable people among us. Recently, some Massachusetts and Rhode Island shelters and food banks have gotten a little help in a big way thanks to Amazon, Sysco, and the Patriots Foundation.
Both companies have donated 24 palettes of food daily to support those in need. While the donation was initially supporting the Food4Vets program, which has been operating from the Gillette Stadium parking lots, it has proven generous enough to help even more people in the area.
