The Food Center at 477 Park St. is set up as a grocery store where our customers can browse and select their groceries instead of relying on pre-prepared bags. With plenty of shelving and storage space, customers can choose from various food items when they visit.
The center receives donations from individuals, farms, and local businesses, and the Greater Boston Food Bank distributes them to clients. The center provides about a week’s worth of food, including shelf-stable, fresh, and frozen food items once per week.
Donations and volunteers are sought. To learn more, go to: https://paceinfo.org/programs/food-bank/
