Welcome Home is Newton's first home goods pantry providing those in need access to household goods.

When our clients pick up their basic home goods packages they also have an opportunity to choose decorative items from our "shop". Christmas decor is always very popular and we'd love to stock up early!

Now is a great time to go through those boxes in your basement or attic and send your items our way. They will help make someone else's home a little brighter this season.

Link to schedule a drop off is in the comments. Thank you!

One item, big impact. Just one pot or pan could make a big difference to families who find themselves without these basic goods needed to thrive.

If you have a gently used one to donate (with or without a lid), it's easy to schedule a drop off. We are in West Newton and have openings today, tomorrow and next week. Drop off link in the comments below. Thank you! 🏡

Give Your Pots & Pans a Second Life! 🍳

A hot meal starts with the right tools. As a home goods pantry, our highest request items right now are gently used pots and pans, as many of our clients are families moving into housing without basic household items.

Please consider donating the cookware you no longer use to a neighbor who will use it every day and help us turn housing into homes!

Drop-off details are on our website and in the comments below. Thank you! 🏡

With just one pot or pan you can make an infinite number of warm family meals.

Basic cooking items are our clients' most frequent requests. If you have a pot or pan collecting dust (with a lid if you have it!), we have a long waiting list of families who could use it today!

Items must be in gently used condition without scratches, stains, chips or rust.

Please schedule a drop off on our website. Link below in comments. Thank you! 🙏

Among the generously donated items at our linen drive at The Street Chestnut Hill last Saturday we received this beautiful hand-quilted duvet with origins in Nebraska. It was truly a fabric of communities far and wide event. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to donate and support Welcome Home!

Welcome Home founders Julie Plaut Mahoney and Mindy Peckler along with Welcome Home volunteers Gail and Sarah recently visited the new Newton Food Pantry building on Rumford Avenue.

The building is beautiful and it is hopeful to hear about the many plans for addressing food insecurity in Newton. Gail and Sarah had been the managers of our presence at the Food Pantry for years when it was at City Hall. Big thanks to Gail and Sarah for their commitment to this role.

We are pictured with Joe Prestejohn of Cabot's Ice Cream, left, and pantry Director Jeff Lemberg, right.

At Welcome Home we take our partnerships with other nonprofit organizations seriously as we understand that we are serving the same populations.
