Pantry Shelf, The

The Pantry Shelf provides free food for individuals and families
in need, over 4000 South Shore households, over 10,000 people a year.
We try to provide 3-5 days of food for our customers. They may come
for food one time a month.

Our customers are South Shore residents who because of financial
hardship need assistance with food. Many are on fixed incomes due
to age or disability, while others are unemployed or Transitional
Assistance recipients. Some come on a one time emergency basis,
others on a more regular basis. They reside in one of the ten
South Shore communities served by the Pantry Shelf: Braintree,
Cohasset, Hingham, Holbrook, Hull, Milton, Quincy, Randolph,
Scituate and Weymouth.

Most of our food is provided through the goodwill of hundreds of
caring individuals, the various faith communities, businesses,
schools, and civic and fraternal organizations. Monetary donations
enable us to provide items not normally donated.

Volunteers dedicated to helping others staff the Pantry Shelf.
There are many ways you can get involved; initiate or sponsor
a food drive, volunteer on a regular basis or for special food
drives, start a ?Bring a Can? basket in your home, office or
regular meeting place. Become our partner as we work to help
feed our neighbors on the South Shore.
