Wakefield Interfaith Food Pantry - Food Needed for Ongoing Food Distribution

The foods listed below are needed for our ongoing food distribution.

Along with non-perishable food items, hygiene items such as soap, toothpaste, shampoo, as well as paper goods for the bath and kitchen, are always needed. And, as always, cash donations are constantly needed so we can buy and distribute supermarket gift cards for perishable items such as produce, meats and frozen foods.

PLEASE NOTE: The food pantry must, by law, discard any food items that are beyond the expiration date, look old, have previously been opened, or otherwise just don't look clean or safe. (Click HERE for samples of unusable items.) The First Baptist Church kindly allows us to use their dumpster and we do not want to cause an increase in their trash disposal costs. Please make sure that the food that you donate is not expired or otherwise unsuitable for distribution. THANK YOU!
