The 5^th Annual Holiday Harvest Telethon to benefit the Dedham Food Pantry will be televised “LIVE” on Thursday, Nov. 29, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Dedham TV’s studio. 

The telethon is the DFP’s only fundraiser this year and its success is solely dependent on the kind generosity of Dedham residents and businesses. 

For 22 years, the Dedham Food Pantry has been providing supplemental and emergency food to our neighbors in need. 

It receives no further funding from the town, state or federal government. 

Currently, the pantry requires over $6,000 per month to purchase food and has seen a significant increase both in food costs and in the number of clients needing the service that the Pantry provides. 

Businesses who donate will receive various levels of advertising exposure based on the sponsorship amount.  Business donations must be received by Nov. 26in order to have their artwork and logos included in the Telethon’s banner ad. 

Contact Julie Bertsch at jey_416@yahoo.com or 617-416-9551 or Nancy Samya at nancy.samya@gmail.com for more details.
