The Pearl Street Cupboard & Café and the Marlborough Community Cupboard are currently facing a critical shortage of food pantry staples due to the overwhelming number of families seeking assistance. Food distributed monthly at our food pantries has increased 85.6% since last year at this time.
In light of this urgent situation, we are reaching out to our generous donors and dedicated volunteers for support. As we strive to turn hunger into hope for those in need, we are requesting food donations to provide immediate relief to our community.
Non perishable food donations can be dropped off at our food pantry locations between 9 am and 3 pm Monday thru Friday.
Food Pantry Most Needed Items:
- Pasta
- Cereal
- Jelly and jams
- Instant or canned potatoes
- Canned fruit
- Canned beans (kidney, pinto – not garbanzo)
- Canned vegetables
- Shelf stable milk
- Bottles of juice
- Baking mixes for muffins, cakes, or breads
- Toiletries
- Diapers newborn to size five
- Adult incontinence products
Donations are also being excepted.
Because of our buying power with local food banks and wholesalers, we can make your donation go further.
Every $1 you donate = $4 worth of food
