Community Food Aid - Roslindale Food Pantry

The Roslindale Food Pantry strives to address food insecurity in our community by providing nutritious food options and support to individuals and families. We raise awareness and promote community engagement to create a more equitable society. Our mission is driven by compassion, inclusivity, and the belief that together we can make a lasting impact on hunger.

Your donation will significantly contribute to the sustainability and effectiveness of the food pantry's operations. And will help us continue our many programs.

Every Tuesday, a dedicated volunteer team provides pantry staples, ready-made meals, produce, meat, and other essential goods to 50 to 85 senior clients living in residential housing. We open our doors to families and individuals on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month. These days, we work with the community and our volunteers to provide food to anywhere between 80 to 120 families and individuals, translating to approximately 430 to 510 seniors, individuals, and families each month. This impactful outreach is a testament to the power of collective action in addressing hunger and fostering a stronger, more connected community.

We provide approximately 50 to 70 pounds of food to 700+ senior citizens, families, and individuals each month. Through our programs, we can provide nutritious and culturally appropriate foods to a large percentage of our community, all experiencing food insecurity.

In 2024, we aim to broaden our impact and enhance our existing programs. Recognizing that food insecurity is more than just a shortage of food; it's a shortage of nutritious food, we hope to emphasize the significance of nutrition in the upcoming year. We hope to eventually increase our client's ability to choose and transition to a model where our clients can shop for their food.
