Morristown Little League to Host Food Drive

This Saturday marks the Morristown National Little League opening day. The league is tying in a few charitable events: they're collecting new or “gently used” baseball and softball equipment for the Roberto’s Kids Organization.

They also plan to hold a food drive from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. to benefit the Interfaith Food Pantry, a nonprofit organization that helps families make ends meet by supplementing their monthly groceries in times of need.
