Friends Feeding Families - Catholic Charities of Boston
Due to COVID-19, more and more families in Boston find themselves in need of support. This includes access to nutritious food. Especially now that it is summertime and children are out of school, they do not have access to a single meal. By putting together a bag of food (or more than one) and delivering your donation to our food pantry, you will be helping a family put dinner on the table. Collect nonperishable food items and deliver them to Catholic Charities of Greater Boston’s food pantry located at 185 Columbia Rd. Dorchester, MA 02121. Any size donation creates an impactful difference in someone's life facing food insecurity.
Pick a date to start your food drive. Let your friends, family, colleagues know how and where you will be collecting! Scroll down for step-by-step instructions.
Decide what kind of nonperishable items you would like to donate and set a timeframe for when you would like to donate. Needed items often include Dry milk, oatmeal, pasta, canned vegetables, instant potatoes, canned tuna or salmon, and peanut butter. Please email Megan Calderon at megan_calderon@ccab.org asking for the list of recommended items for families regarding the food drive, she then will forward the information to you.
Be sure to also have gloves and other sanitizing products on hand to disinfect donations and/or otherwise protect yourself, as necessary.
Please be sure to note we do not accept:
Food items in glass containers
Food items past expiration date
Perishable food items
Next, once all food items are collected, place them in a grocery bag or a bag of your choice.
Contact Megan Calderon at megan_calderon@ccab.org with your planned delivery date.
Finally, deliver to Catholic Charities of Greater Boston’s food pantry located at 185 Columbia Rd. Dorchester, MA 02121 and deliver to our front desk! We are open Monday-Friday from 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM. Please remember to wear a mask!
We look forward to hear from you!
