By Dustin Luca Staff Writer Dec 14, 2020 Dec 14, 2020 SALEM â One of the city's biggest nonprofits has teamed up with one of its most critical, and much smaller organizations. Peabody Essex Museum and the Salem Pantry recently announced a challenge pledge through Feeding Community, "a joint initiative designed to raise awareness of food insecurity, secure essential funding, and recruit volunteers to support The Salem Pantry's life-sustaining operations." That challenge, worth $20,000 once both organizations land 200 donations, was on the verge of being unlocked just a week after the challenge began on Giving Tuesday, Dec. 1, according to Robyn Burns, executive director of the Pantry.
