PANTRY SHELF FOOD PROGRAM
Interfaith Social Services’ Pantry Shelf has been providing emergency food to families in financial distress since 1975. Last year volunteers distributed over 350,000 pounds of food to hungry families.
Much of the food distributed through the pantry is donated by caring individuals, places of worship, and other organizations. We also receive meat and baked goods daily from local supermarkets. However, due to the ever increasing need for this service more and more food must be purchased from the Greater Boston Food Bank and retail outlets.
Last year this program assisted over 16,000 individuals, please help us to continue our fight against hunger.
How can I help?
