The Wilson Brothers had their Annual Labor Day Charity golf Outing in memory of Gary Garafola, who was tragically taken from us September 22, 2012. The Golf Outing is held on the Friday of the Labor Day holiday weekend to recognize and thank their outstanding employees while collecting several thousand dollars for the local Pantry’s. Tom, Paul & John Wilson believe in giving back to all their valued employees for all they do for their Company, and their valued customers. They also believe it is just as important to give back to the neediest in our communities. Tom Wilson said, “We truly believe helping the local families with their daily needs who need it is grass roots charity”.
The local food pantries, PATCH in Pepperell, and Loaves and Fishes in Devens, serve the local communities with basic daily needs, serving Pepperell, Ayer, Shirley, Harvard, Littleton, Groton, Devens. They serve the needy in an honorable way, not only with food and hygiene, but they direct them in a continued effort to make their way on their own if they can. Most of the clients of these local pantries don’t want the help, they need it. Their dilemma is to pay their rent or electric bills, or eat. No one is this country should go hungry, and the local food pantries do an outstanding job of preventing that. They have a huge group of outstanding volunteers and paid professionals to help a growing list of needy neighbors, Vets, homeless, disabled, mentally challenged, widows, elderly and some of us down on our luck who just need a hand to get back on track.
Everything we do to help these organizations is a heartfelt pleasure. Both PATCH and Loaves and Fishes are undergoing a transition in their buildings of operation and need money to update the structures to better serve our neighbors in need. The Wilson Brothers and their outstanding staff and their business partners will always be there for them, giving back to the local communities.
