#NoNeighborHungry Giving Tuesday Campaign

Giving Tuesday is here! Please join our #NoNeighborHungry GoFundMe campaign and make sure all our neighbors facing hardship have food on the table throughout the winter months.

Food insecurity continues to be an urgent problem in Waltham and Healthy Waltham is the city's largest distributor of free food to vulnerable families. At our twice-monthly pantries we distribute more than 40,000 pounds of food to over 600 families – and we see the faces behind the statistics. Diego, a regular visitor to our pantry recently told our staff, “The pantry helps the people who need it most. It helps us provide for our families when there is not a lot of work. Rent is so expensive these days. This place is a blessing. It helps my family a lot.”

The residents of Waltham and beyond have always been so generous with their support for their neighbors in need. And we can’t sustain our pantry operations without your help!

Your contribution to our Giving Tuesday GoFundMe will enable Healthy Waltham to continue its invaluable service supporting our Waltham neighbors facing hardship. As a nonprofit, we rely on the support of donors like you!

Your donation will also help us complete the Healthy Waltham Community Market! This new pantry model (and Healthy Waltham’s first “forever home”!) will do Waltham proud! It will allow us to move our pantry operations indoors, away from the harsh days of excessive sun, rain and snow. Pantry visitors can select the groceries that best suit the needs of their households and make an appointment to do so.

AND, we'll be able to provide programs, support and resources to help all our Waltham neighbors live healthier, more secure lives. We’ve already completed the architectural drawings, permits and demolition and we’re currently completing framing and installing the heating, ventilation and AC system! Help us bring it home! Thank you!
