Wellesley food pantry asks for summer donations

by Leave a Comment

Wellesley Food Pantry

Wellesley Food Pantry is asking people to remember to clean out their pantries and cupboards before going away this summer, especially for items that are close to their expiration dates. WFP relies on the community’s generosity to support the needs of the 400+ Wellesley residents who use the pantry.

Summer is a leaner time for the pantry, as many donors are away. But the outfit’s needs don’t abate, especially considering that kids don’t have access to reduced price or free meals from the schools.
