The giveaway items, coffee and Munchkins were pre- packaged in a safe and sanitary manner and assembled into a disposable tray for town employees to grab during a break in their work day. The first stop of the day was at the Ahern Middle School to surprise Foxborough Public School Administrators before making stops at Town Hall, the Senior Center and Department of Public Works, and wrapping up at the Public Safety building. “It almost makes you speechless in the moment,” said Diana Myers-Pachla, principal of Foxborough High School. “It’s been a great partnership over the years between the Kraft family, the Patriots and Foxborough. This was such a wonderful surprise for us and it means the world.” “It was exciting to have the Dunkin’ truck come visit us,” said Chris Gallagher, director of the Department of Public Works. “It’s nice to have positive feedback and be recognized by the Kraft family, Dunkin’ and the Patriots.” 5 Partners in Patriotism Partners in Patriotism lending a helping hand Foxborough Police collect winter coats and supplies for veterans in need On Tuesday, Dec. 8, the Patriots Foundation and Mass Military Support Foundation hosted the Coats 4 Vets event at Gillette Stadium to help people in need stay warm and safe this holiday season.
