Families Feeding Families for Thanksgiving
Turkey Delivery Day
What a day at Wild Oats! Our Deli & Bakery crew rolled up their sleeves and prepared 55 full turkey dinners, enough to feed 216 neighbors who needed a little extra care this holiday season. Seniors, folks who are ill, and community members unable to cook for themselves will receive a warm meal made with love from the Williamstown Food Pantry.
Thank you to this incredible team for showing what community looks like in action. We’re grateful to the Williamstown Food Pantry and Police Department for joining forces with us. Together, we didn’t just deliver food, we delivered joy, comfort, and connection.
From our kitchen to your hearts, thank you for making Williamstown a place where kindness always finds a way.
