Help Us Keep Our Pantries Well Stocked with Healthy, Nutritious Foods
Each week our pantry market offers our guests a choice of fresh produce, dairy, and meats, as well as shelf stable (non-perishable) items. You can help us provide the non-perishable food that our guests need and prefer to prepare healthy meals for themselves and their families.
While we are able to source food from the Greater Boston Food Bank as well as from local farms and retail outlets, we are always seeking certain non-perishable foods. During seasonal changes or holidays, this list may expand.
We welcome any and all who wish to help by conducting a food drive, or, preparing Kid’s Bags full of healthy snacks for children. We ask that you register your activity with us so that we can best prepare for the donated items and we can, if you wish, help promote your event.
