Help local students start off on the right foot in September
Our food pantry serves about 750 school-age children each month. Every August we distribute backpacks full of school supplies to the children of our food pantry clients. This initiative emphasizes the importance of education, defrays an additional cost faced by our clients, and helps kids start the year right.
We need your help! Please consider donating NEW school supplies or making a monetary donation to support this effort.
Backpack donations may be dropped off at Interfaith during these hours:
Contact Assistant Food Pantry Manager Leslie Wittmann for more information:

You can also have supplies shipped directly to our office! Shop our Amazon Wish List or find deals on supplies elsewhere and have them shipped to us (105 Adams St., Quincy MA 02169).
