Food Pantry

The Needham Community Council Food Pantry in Needham, MA, is dedicated to providing essential food assistance to those in need through a compassionate and flexible 'client choice' system. Our approach allows individuals and families to select their own grocery items, ensuring that everyone's unique needs are met. Clients can access the pantry once a month for a regular supply of groceries, with additional shopping opportunities for households with children under 18. We encourage visits during the week after 11 a.m. for a more comfortable experience. Additionally, our pantry offers fresh bread and pastries on Mondays and Wednesdays, and we provide grocery delivery services for elderly residents and individuals with disabilities who qualify. To access our services, clients need a written referral, which can be obtained by completing necessary forms through partner agencies. We are here to support our community, ensuring that no one goes hungry.
