Interfaith Social Services Pantry Shelf

One of Greater Boston's largest food pantries, Interfaith Social Services' Pantry Shelf has been providing emergency food to families and individuals since 1975. Last year volunteers distributed over 750,000 pounds of food to hungry families. Much of the food distributed through the pantry is donated by caring individuals, businesses, houses of worship, and other organizations. We also pickup produce, meat and baked goods daily from various local Supermarkets. A large percentage of the food we distribute comes from the Greater Boston Food Bank. In addition, we purchase fresh produce from a local wholesaler. The Pantry Shelf also operates various seasonal initiatives for the children of families who depend on our food pantry. Last year The Pantry Shelf assisted over 18,000 South Shore residents. Regular pantry hours are 10:00 am-11:45 am Monday- Friday. Additional hours are available by appointment: every first and third Tuesday from 4:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.
