Wakefield Interfaith Food Pantry

Who Donates the Food?

Non-perishable food and toiletry items are delivered to the food pantry from individuals as well as from drives held by local congregations, local civic organizations, schools, boys and girl scout troops and the national postal service drive. Some drives are scheduled (i.e. congregations by month) and others generated by requests placed in the local newspaper. Requests for specific items can be found on the website as well as requests made to the donating organization.

How do I Donate Food?
We are located in the lower level of the First Baptist Church at 8 Lafayette Street in Wakefield.
Non-perishable food Items may be donated:

Monday - Friday 9 a.m. to 12 Noon

Second Saturday of the month 9 a.m. to 12 Noon

Summer Hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 Noon. Food can also be dropped off at the Town Hall from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each weekday year round.

Please enter at the Lafayette Street entrance. Enter the hall at the left and leave food on the long tables in the hall. To arrange a different drop off time or if you have a very large donation (40 or more bags), please contact the food pantry at 781 245 2510 or email us.
