ABOUT THE PANTRY

If you are a housebound veteran in North Central Massachusetts and would benefit from a once monthly food box delivery, please give us a call to get on our list. Should you need assistance outside of operating hours please call us at 978-632-9601 and we will arrange a pick up time.
