Chelmsford Agway is a drop-off location for Toys For Tots. This is the last weekend to drop off new, unwrapped toys before they are picked up on Monday for distribution to children in surrounding communities. This is a wonderful program the US Marine Corps organizes every year to give toys to less fortunate children.

We had a great turn-out for Pet Photos With Santa! There were plenty of dogs dressed in their holiday best for their photo shoot with Santa - and a few cats too! Photos will be ready for pick-up this Wednesday, Dec 7th at Chelmsford Agway. A great big THANK-YOU to Jerry Serra who donated his time for the photo shoot with Santa. He is an amazing photographer and we are very lucky that he has made time for us every year!
