The Allston Brighton Food Pantry believes that food access is a basic human right and works to build a community that is safe, sustainable, and just.

We welcome everyone to join in the mission of neighbors feeding neighbors in body, heart, and soul. Every Wednesday, we offer a Community Supper beginning at 4:30 PM that is open to everyone, free of charge, and no ID is required. We also offer Food Baskets to residents of Allston Brighton, and the Greater Boston Area, on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month, from 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM. In November and December, there is only one distribution day. If you have any questions about our services, please email us at [email protected]. If you are interesting in volunteering, please email [email protected]

We had a spook-tacular time at this weekend's Haunted Pantry! Thank you to everyone who came out for our costume contest, mummy-wrapping, and trick-or-treating with some of our fabulous vendors.

We are also excited to announce the start of our 2026 Annual Fund: "Enormous Challenges - Greater Hope." 2026 has been a year of enormous challenges for the Allston Brighton Food Pantry - and a year that has given us even greater reasons for hope. As we welcome new leadership and look toward the future, the annual fund will help us build on the progress of 2026 and ensure that the Food Pantry remains a reliable source of food, hospitality, and community for years to come.

Extending a great big thank you to the Greater Boston Food Bank for donating a registration ID printer! When our neighbors come into Allston Brighton Food Pantry, we don’t ask for income, employment, or any other personal details. Our identification system allows us to keep track of our guests’ family size to help determine how best to serve them while prioritizing our guests’ confidentiality. This donation is already streamlining our grocery distribution process by making registration easier, faster, and better for the guests we serve. Thank you The Greater Boston Food Bank !
