Southborough Food Pantry

10/29/2026

Our shelves needed this! Thank you, Neary School, St. Matthew Church, and Oktoberfest attendees for your generous donations. Need in our community is high right now, and you are helping us keep the pantry stocked so every family who walks through our doors finds what they need. 🙏

𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞!⁣
Last year, Southborough came together to donate ~20 turkeys to the food pantry. This year, prices are higher and more neighbors than ever are relying on the pantry, so we’d love your help again!⁣
𝐓𝐰𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞:⁣
Buy a turkey and donate it⁣
Use BJ’s free turkey offer (great if you won’t need the turkey yourself!)⁣
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐉’𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬:⁣
Spend $150 or more at BJ’s in a single transaction between October 31 and November 9⁣
Log in to your BJ’s account (app or website) between November 14 and 18 and clip the coupon for your free turkey⁣
Redeem the coupon at BJ’s by November 18 to pick up your turkey⁣
𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐩-𝐨𝐟𝐟 (𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐲𝐬):⁣
Bring your turkey to the food pantry at the designated time on November 19 or 20. If you can’t make it to the pantry or don’t have freezer space, drop it off at Pine Hill Farm instead (details in the signup).⁣
𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰 so we know you’re participating, and a big thank you for helping make a Southborough family’s Thanksgiving dinner possible!⁣

Thank you, Southborough! We are deeply grateful to everyone who took part in the town-wide yard sale. A special thank you goes to Tricia Kalagher, who organized the event and donated all of the proceeds from the listings to the Southborough Food Pantry.

Thanks to Tricia’s thoughtfulness and the generosity of our community, the more than $500 raised will be used to purchase pantry staples for the clients we serve. Your kindness makes a real difference!

Canned meats and fish are some of the most needed items right now. If you’re able to pick up an extra can or two on your next grocery run, it makes a real difference for local families.

A huge thank you to the students, families, and staff at Mary Finn School! These kids chose to think about their neighbors, and the bags, boxes, and smiles they sent our way prove it. Thank you for showing us what kindness looks like. 💕
