Stock Donations at the East End House Food Pantry

About the East End House Pantry: The East End House Community Food Pantry serves residents of East Cambridge and surrounding neighborhoods, They support over 300 families per month by offering healthy, fresh, and shelf-stable foods in a dignified setting. By increasing access to good food, they promote the flourishing and achievement of children from low-income families. They receive most of their food from the Greater Boston Food Bank, Food for Free, Lovin' Spoonfuls and Food Link. In addition, they receive donations from local food drives and individuals in the community.
