Volunteer the Day of the Pantry
Join us for this hands-on volunteer opportunity to help make our community food pantry a welcoming and supportive space for local families in need. Volunteer tasks include:

• Helping set up the pantry
• Greeting guests as they arrive & helping coordinate clients in and out of the pantry
• Assisting guests with food selection and carrying items if needed
• Helping guests, carrying items (maybe light lifting of boxes)
• Breaking down and cleaning up after the event

No prior experience is necessary, just a friendly attitude and willingness to help. Come be part of a team that brings food, care, and community to those who need it most.

Not sure what to bring?

• Comfortable clothes you don’t mind moving around in
• Note: parking is available in the church parking lot and on-street parking available on Linden St

We’re excited to see you there and for your help in serving our community!

Other Ways to Support the Pantry
To meet our goal of feeding 100 families this February distribution in our underserved community on Saturday, February 21st, we're asking for all of your help through food and money donations.

How to Donate

• If you are able to donate to the pantry, please use the Pledge link in Meetup. Any funds donated for the pantry will be given to the Church which will then be distributed to the pantry after properly being accounted for through the Church's accounting process.
• If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please contact us at [[goodneighborsne@gmail.com](mailto:goodneighborsne@gmail.com)] and we'll follow up with next steps!
• Contact Max at 508.468.4099 OR email [[goodneighborsne@gmail.com](mailto:goodneighborsne@gmail.com)] to make a donation.

Your generosity will help us provide meals to local families right before the holidays. Thank you for helping us launch this pantry!

Food Donations – Shelf-Stable & Non-Perishables
We will be accepting shelf-stable foods on a rolling basis leading up to the 21st. A list of helpful items can be found on this link, but also include:

• Canned soups, beans, vegetables, and fruit
• Pasta, rice, boxed meals
• Peanut butter, shelf-stable milk, cereals
• Cooking oils

Perishable Items
Perishables (like fresh produce, dairy, eggs) can be donated only within the week before Saturday, February 21st, depending on remaining shelf life. Please reach out before dropping these items off so we can time storage properly and get them to our third-party storage space in a timely fashion.

We look forward to a successful pantry day on Saturday. Thank you for contributing to this community-wide effort!
