Tufts Mutual Aid

09/03/2021

Update: TMA is shutting down indefinitely. Unfortunately, we don't have the volunteers to continue sustainably. We are so thankful for all of the support from this community over the last 18 months.
If anyone is interested in restarting TMA, please reach out to [email protected], as we will still be checking the email periodically.
Messaging will stay on for about a week on our social media accounts and then will be closing.

Our volunteers are taking a month/two to reset and prepare for the upcoming year. This means that we are taking a pause on financial/other requests. However, if you are interested in joining us next year still feel free to reach out.

PANTRY INFORMATION FOR Summer 2021!

Wednesday 7/14 will be our last food pantry date! 3:30-6:30

The pantry is located at Hillside Community Church, 144 North Street (corner of Osgood and North) in the Hillside neighborhood of Medford. Enter through the automatic door at the bottom of the accessible ramp. Our pantry is focused on addressing the food insecurities within the Tufts Community (students/alumni, faculty, staff, and those directly related). Masks are required, as is the use of either hand sanitizer or gloves when you enter before handling any food. You must sign in through a Google form each time.
If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms such as cough, fever, or shortness of breath, do not visit the pantry, but instead message us here or email [email protected] to set up grocery delivery.
