WILBRAHAM, Mass. — The Hampden District Attorney's Office will collect donated food at the Big Y supermarket on Boston Road in Wilbraham from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Nov. 21 as part of the annual Rock 102 Mayflower Marathon, the office said Monday.

The food drive benefits Open Pantry Community Services. The district attorney's office is running the collection with the Massachusetts State Police detective unit assigned to it, and this is the 11th year the office has taken part, according to the announcement.

The public is asked to drop off nonperishable food. Members of the district attorney's office and the State Police detective unit will deliver everything collected to the Mayflower Marathon site on Nov. 23, the office said.

People who cannot get to the Wilbraham collection can donate directly at the Mayflower Marathon at MGM Springfield from Nov. 23 to Nov. 25, or online, the office said. Employees of the district attorney's office are also contributing through a drive inside the office.

"Addressing food insecurity is a shared responsibility, and every contribution, big or small helps make a meaningful difference for local families," Hampden District Attorney Anthony D. Gulluni said.
