Everything sells – household items, clothing, toys, small furniture items. We just need to drop off as much stuff as possible and Chrissy & Jackie will take care of the rest. You will even get points for the scavenger hunt if you bring your donations on the 13th! (We need all items dropped off in Longmeadow between 3/15 and 3/18. The sale will take place 3/19-21.

Food Pantry Donations
2020-12-01 - 2020-12-16
Dear CISV families and friends of CISV,
Although the pandemic has prevented us from physically getting together, we can still “come together” in our support of those less fortunate than us. For the holiday season, CISV is collecting non-perishable pantry items to stock the food pantry in Longmeadow.
If you live in or near Longmeadow, feel free to drop off your donations at either:
35 Blokland Dr, Longmeadow, MA (Front Door) OR
47 Chatham Rd, Longmeadow, MA (Rear of house under covered porch)
There will be a labeled box at both sites and you can just drop off whatever items you have to donate. The food pantry is grateful for anything you can spare. However, if you are looking to donate specific items, they are always in need of cereal, soup, dry pasta, pasta sauce, canned tuna, rice, canned vegetables and the like. We are collecting items until December 16th. Please drop off your items prior to this date and they will be included in the delivery to the Longmeadow Food Pantry on the 17th.
Thank you for your generosity in support of those with food insecurity during this holiday season.
