Hey Neighbors!

Last pantry in numbers and latest Substack. We were able to feed over 100 households, distribute over 1100 meals and reach over 300 neighbors in need!!

We couldn't do it without our amazing volunteers and panty partners. Our next pantry is October 17th and we need your help! Our hygiene essentials' supply is running low. We rely on community support to keep our pantry stocked for our neighbors who need it most.

Shop our Amazon Wish List, items ship directly to our facility, making it the fastest way to support us. Link to our most needed items.

Every donation, no matter the size, is vital in allowing us to help our neighbors.

See you October 17

Hey Good Neighbors!

Our August pantry went smoothly thanks to our wonderful volunteers and sponsors! This month we were able to help 300 neighbors with nearly 1600 lbs of food distributed.

We're still running out of essentials before helping everyone that we want to and we would love it if neighbors could help out in any way. Even $5 brings us closer to our goal!

Amazing news for the pantry process - we were gifted a desperately needed fridge by Cristo's kitchen of Woburn. This means we can store a lot more fresh food now like produce and eggs. This means we can distribute more to neighbors that need it! Extra special thank you to Chris 🧡

Our next pantry is September 19th! Subscribe to our substack for more info & to stay up to date with ways to help! (link in bio)

We are especially grateful for your time, donations, and enthusiastic support as we continue our mission of food security. Every contribution helps us stretch our resources, plan thoughtfully, and keep the pantry steady and welcoming for the neighbors who count on us for a little breathing room. Our July pantry was sponsored by Toodie's Fine Jewelry and we were eternally grateful for their support and efforts.

Our next pantry date is Saturday, August 15 4-6:30p (while supplies last)

Up Next:

New this month is our 501(c)(3) status and easier donation platform Zeffy. 100% of donations go to food security efforts and it's easier than ever to help our neighbors.

Right now, our only cold storage is a freezer and it definitely helps, but is not enough to stock produce and fresh, perishable products (produce, dairy) like a refrigerator could. These products are the hardest foods for our neighbors to get, and the most nutritious when they do. A commerical fridge, and the electrical work to support it, is what lets us take in and store more of it.

We've set up a dedicated Storage Room Capital Campaign for exactly this. If you're able to chip in towards the fridge and electrical work, it goes directly to infrastructure work that will serve neighbors for years. Every gift is tax deductible!
