Description

NEWTON, MA — Newton Food Pantry, the city's oldest and largest food pantry, is currently seeking volunteers to help with distribution on Wednesdays starting in September. The food pantry is a 100% volunteer-based organization and has positions that involve unloading, bagging, delivering, and distributing food and personal care items. Volunteers must be age 13 or older and is a great opportunity for older kids who need community service hours. According to Newton Food Pantry organizers, over one-third of the nonprofit's clients are children under the age of 18 and many are elderly. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, one in five families with children are food insecure. For more information on Newton Food Pantry or to sign up to volunteer, click here.
