Director of the Tewksbury Housing Authority was approached by Makayla Clougherty from the Merrimack Valley Food Bank with an idea to offer the residents an assortment of fruits and vegetables free of charge. On June 20th, that idea happened to the delight of all involved.

Residents were given shopping bags and with help and assistance from TJX interns, they were able to pick out their favorite items and there was a lot to pick from.
