Mayflower Marathon Collection Drive Returns in Wilbraham

November 9, 2026 – Wilbraham, Massachusetts – The Hampden District Attorney’s Office is proud to once again partner with the Massachusetts State Police Detective Unit assigned to the DA’s Office for the annual Rock 102 Mayflower Marathon, continuing a longstanding tradition of giving back to the community through this beloved food drive benefiting Open Pantry Community Services.

In support of this effort, the Hampden District Attorney’s Office will host a community collection event on Saturday, Nov. 21, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Big Y, 2035 Boston Rd. in Wilbraham. This is the 11th year the Hampden District Attorney’s Office has participated in the collection.

Members of the public are encouraged to stop by and drop off nonperishable food items. All items collected during this event will be delivered by members of the DA’s Office and State Police Detective Unit to the Mayflower Marathon site on Monday, Nov. 23.

“The Mayflower Marathon is a powerful reminder of what makes our community so special – our willingness to come together, look out for one another, and support our neighbors when they need it most,” said Hampden District Attorney Anthony D. Gulluni. “Addressing food insecurity is a shared responsibility, and every contribution, big or small helps make a meaningful difference for local families.”

He continued, “We are proud to once again take part in this effort and look forward to another successful year of bringing people together for such an important cause.”

In addition to the public collection, employees within the Hampden District Attorney’s Office are also contributing to the drive through an internal office-wide effort.

For those unable to attend the Wilbraham collection, donations can be made directly during the Mayflower Marathon at MGM Springfield between Nov. 23–25, or online at https://smoc.org/support-us3/.
