Town of Reading and Reading Public Schools Seeking Gift Card Donations for Reading Food Pantry

Dear Reading Community,

We have received several inquiries from families on how they can reach out and support those families or individuals that are in need during this health crisis.  The Town of Reading has set up three secure dropbox locations in our community where community members can donate gift cards.  These gift cards will be given to the Reading Food Pantry to support those families in need.

We ask that gift cards are $25 or less in denomination and be from local grocery stores and pharmacies.  You may drop off the gift cards at the following safe and secure dropbox locations:

  • Reading Police Station (Front Entrance)
  • Reading Town Hall (Side door facing Parking Lot)
  • Superintendent’s Office (Main door)

In addition, the Town of Reading has set up email addresses and a phone number to offer support or receive support.  That information is below:
