🥦🥕 Big delivery, bigger impact! On May 13th, thanks to our incredible partnership with the Greater Boston Food Bank, we received a whopping 28,600 lbs of fresh produce! 🙌

Of that, 60% went directly to our partnering organizations spreading the abundance across our community and 40% stocked the shelves right here at The Salem Pantry.

This is what community looks like. Thank you, The Greater Boston Food Bank💚

Rising prices are something many of us are feeling right now.

For households already facing food insecurity, that burden is even heavier.

Massachusetts families experiencing food insecurity report needing an additional $65 every week just to meet their food needs, and as food and gas costs rise, that gap keeps growing.

Supporting The Salem Pantry means supporting your neighbors.
