It’s time to empty those cupboards and put those brown paper bags to good use!

Instead of letting brown paper bags pile up at home, Carry It Forward and become part of a simple circular economy: a bag you no longer need can be reused by Lexington Food Pantry

And the need is BIG — 900+ bags are needed every single week! That’s why every household contributing even a small stack can make a real difference.

Collection bins are available at Hayden Recreation Centre, Lexington Community Center, Stop & Shop Lexington, Stop & Shop Bedford, Lexington High School, and Stop & Shop Arlington.
