Organize a Food Drive
Get involved by hosting a food drive. You can collect donations at the Newbury Food Pantry or at another location. We can advise you on how to proceed. We encourage food drives focused on one type of item so that we have sufficient quantity to serve guests who order the item.
If this interests you, please leave a message at 978-358-1077, Our food drive coordinator will call you back.
Make a Donation
Donations help us to purchase food from the Greater Boston Food Bank and local stores when critical items like eggs or milk are not otherwise available. We have no paid staff and few operating expenses.
We also accept food donations every Thursday from 9:30 am -1 pm.
