Rehoboth Food Pantry News

Posted

Happy Snowy Tuesday, Reporter Team!! Here is the current news from the Pantry :)

Spring is almost here! Of course, in typical New England fashion, the snow and cold weather has returned to begin March. The Rehoboth Food Pantry is here, serving neighbors in need with confidential fuel and food assistance - helping to make sure all our residents stay warm and well fed. Whatever level your need may be, we are here to help! Young families, singles, seniors, Veterans - the pantry doors are open to any Rehoboth resident that could use a little help. Perhaps you have a tight week and need assistance to supplement your shopping, or have a more regular need due to a financial crisis, we are here to help. Pantry items, canned goods, meats, poultry, bread, milk - we have a variety of items that are available to those in need.

We are open every Thursday from 2:30 - 4:30 for distribution. If you have issues with transportation, you can make arrangements to have food delivered to your home - privately and confidentially - simply call 508-493-1922 and we can make arrangements.

We have been blessed by a consistent outpouring of support - both financially and with food donations - to keep food on the shelves. We thank each and every one of you - no matter the size of the donation - we are grateful to all of you!

A number of folks have held food drives to aid the pantry in the past couple of months that have really helped the pantry!
• D L Beckwith Middle School- Food Drive recognizing Martin Luther King Jr.
• Confectionery Designs - finishing Holiday Food Drive
• A neighborhood Food Drive brought to Monroe Feed and Grain
• Palmer River Kindergarten Classes were collecting cans to try to total 100 for the 100th Day of School. (they actually collected 375 cans - phenomenal job kids!!)
• Also, Signature Transportation donated many cases of orange juice which was a wonderful addition to the pantry.
As always the Rehoboth community continues to be very generous with food and monetary contribution. For food and pantry donations, these generous businesses have set up convenient drop-off spots:
Blanding Library – Bay State Road, Rehoboth
Land-Tek – 477 Winthrop Street, Rehoboth
Munroe Feed & Supply – 200 Fairview Ave., Rehoboth

The Rehoboth Food Pantry is located at 51 Winthrop Street in Rehoboth, MA. We provide confidential food and fuel assistance to Rehoboth residents who are facing difficulties. Every Thursday, between 2:30 and 4:30 the pantry opens its doors (located in the rear of the building) to help provide food and other necessities to residents in need.
