Westwood Food Pantry Continues Mission During COVID-19

Westwood MA

Description

As COVID-19 continues to affect people, Westwood Food Pantry has adapted its outreach for the current climate. Although the physical food pantry is closed, "We will continue to support our clients - and any Westwood resident in need of help - with grocery store gift cards. We are mailing those cards to our clients at this point to avoid unnecessary face-to-face contact for our clients and volunteers," a Food Pantry representative told the Westwood Patch when contacted. The COVID-19 section of their website states that through May 2, 2020: If you are entitled to receive 2 bags of groceries, you will receive a $100 gift card.If you are entitled to receive 3 or more bags of groceries, you will receive a $150 gift card.If you need to update your mailing address, please call the Food Pantry at 781-269-2008 to provide a current mailing address. Monetary donations to the Westwood Food Pantry may be made here. It is a member agency of the Greater Boston Food Bank. The GBFB is a nonprofit one may vote for on Target Circle this quarter.
