The Morristown and Morris Township municipal buildings, the Mayo Performing Arts Center and Township fire stations are among places accepting holiday food donations.
Morristown town Attorney Vij Pawar is collecting food items for the Interfaith Food Pantry. You can drop off the donations at the second floor of town hall, 200 South St., or at his law office, 6 South St., Suite 201. Needed food items are listed here.
