This coming Saturday, May 2, 14 Refill the Pantry volunteers will conduct the organization’s third food drive this year, at the Stop & Shop located at 200 E. Main St., Stratford, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., working to restock the shelves of the food pantry at the Sterling Community Center, at 2283 Main St., Stratford – which is in “desperate” need of food, said the Center’s food pantry director.
