Food Pantry

The Food Pantry is located at 2 Merrimac Street in Woburn, Massachusetts.  It provides food to individuals and families living in Woburn and Winchester Massachusetts who do not have adequate financial resources to meet basic needs.  Recipients have reported that the quantity of food they receive generally lasts about 5 days. 

Use of the food pantry is limited to one time per month.  The Food Pantry is open to all households, through pre-arranged appointments, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 09:45 AM to 12:00 PM and from 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM. 

The Food Pantry is also open to individuals who work or attend school during the day, through pre-arranged appointments, on Wednesday evening hours, from 5:45 PM to 7:00 PM.  Information and referral assistance is also available to help clients to link-up with other community services.  Before Thanksgiving and Christmas the program coordinates the distribution of food baskets to hundreds of families.
