VBC Supports the Easton Food Pantry

Vagabond CrossFit held a benefit workout and food drive this past weekend on November 23rd to raise awareness for the Easton Food Pantry. Over the past three weeks, members were asked to come to the workout with grocery bags filled with food for Thanksgiving distributions. Shaw's on Depot Street graciously supplied the gym with hundreds of brown bags to hand out to members to load up with non-perishable groceries and other household provisions.

Vagabond had about 70 members show up for the workout and as a group they ultimately collected more than 125 bags. These supplies will go directly to Easton residents in need this Thanksgiving.

After the workout several members from the gym, along with the owner, Kevin O’Malley, delivered the bags to the Pantry and got to see firsthand how this incredible organization gives back to the community. They met with Ken Wood who founded the Easton Food Pantry nearly 30 years ago and he talked about the residents and families he services each week- which amounts to about 80+. The Pantry provides a vital lifeline to ordinary people struggling in town- especially during the holiday season.

O’Malley said, "I can't say enough how proud I am of our Vagabond family for their efforts. They truly care about their neighbors and community. Hopefully it will make Thanksgiving a little easier for some folks this year."
