1-2-3: A New Place to Be!

Welcome to Giving Tuesday: The 123 Felton Street Edition!

Help us turn our new home into the Healthy Waltham Community Market for our neighbors facing hunger! All gifts to our Giving Tuesday Campaign will be MATCHED by our generous campaign sponsor, BXP!

For years, Healthy Waltham has been the first line of defense against hunger for thousands of our Waltham neighbors in need. Sadly, hunger in Waltham is not going away. At pantry after pantry, the groceries we provide help ward off hunger for up to 850 Waltham families. We need a sustainable way to keep food on the table for our neighbors facing hardship. And we also want to serve them better.

So, at our new home at 123 Felton (at the corner of Felton and Williams), we’re creating the Healthy Waltham Community Market! It’s a place where families in need can come “shop” for the fresh fruits and vegetables, meat and dairy products and pantry staples that best serve their households, all in a supermarket-style setting. They’ll book appointments that suit their work and caregiving schedules – and there will be no more lining up outdoors for long periods in blistering heat or icy rain.

The Healthy Waltham Community Market will be a game changer for our most vulnerable neighbors! It will mean a more dignified, compassionate and convenient experience – and it will help us reduce food waste! BUT, it’s going to require a lot of work. Our lovely new home is a fixer-upper and needs significant renovations, in addition to industrial-sized refrigerators and freezers and equipment for loading and storage. These are substantial expenses for our small organization!

Please join our Giving Tuesday campaign and your gift will by DOUBLED by our match partner, BXP!
