The Easter Bunny Raised Funds to Benefit the Bedford Food Pantry

Present to receive the Easter Bunny’s check were Carla Olson, Healthy Bedford/Food Bank Coordinator, with CERT volunteers Norma Warner, Mary Levenstein, Sarah Dorer, Lisa Cimino, and Town Center custodian Earl Foy, all regular helpers at Bedford’s weekly Food Pantry drive-through.

“Thank you to the community for supporting the Bedford Food Pantry,” said realtor Sheena Santos who collaborated with the Easter Bunny in a holiday fundraiser on Saturday, April 3.

According to Santos, the feedback was amazing and the Easter Bunny reported feeling like a local celebrity, driving around Bedford in a borrowed convertible on a sunny Saturday.

The event raised $700 that was presented to the Food Pantry on Thursday.

“The gift was very much appreciated—it will go a long way to address local food insecurity,” said Carla Olson, Healthy Bedford coordinator, “and it was so much fun to meet the Easter Bunny!”
