Fill-A-DPW Truck

Happy National Public Works Week!  This year's theme couldn't be more appropriate. By working together as a community, the impact citizens and public works professionals can have is magnified and results in the ability to accomplish goals once thought unattainable! We are Stronger Together! The Exeter Public Works Department is joining hundreds of Public Works Departments from across New England to collect food and household goods to support our local community food bank needs. Our Fill-A-Public Works Truck Food Drive is occurring during National Public Works Week May 17-21, 2021, and will support the St. Vincent DePaul Community Assistance Center. Help us help our neighbors and friends.  Food and goods donations are especially critical during the early summer months as schools get out; many children and families may get some assistance during the school year.

Monetary donations accepted and appreciated through our event Go Fund Me page. All proceeds go directly to St. Vincent de Paul. ($1 is equivalent to $50 of goods for SDVP!)

When: May 17th - 21st 

Collection sites will be located at:
Public Works Complex
13 Newfields Rd
7 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
