Newton Food Pantry

The Newton Food Pantry is the oldest and largest pantry serving the Newton community. An independent, non-profit organization, founded in 1983, the Newton Food Pantry aims to alleviate food insecurity in Newton by providing supplemental food and personal care products to community members in need, serving our clients with dignity, compassion and respect. The Newton Food Pantry currently serves more than 1,800 Newton residents through bi-monthly choice shopping and deliveries. The diversity of the Newton community is reflected in the makeup of our clients, more than half of whom speak a language other than English at home and/or identify as BIPOC or biracial/multicultural. 

In addition, countless other individuals are served through off-site initiatives including the Newton Community freedge and the Lasell University Dry Pantry. A robust corp of volunteers and donors enables the organization to serve clients and make a difference. Learn more: newtonfoodpantry.org
