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, 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.
