Upcoming Closures!
The Newton Food Pantry will be closed on Wednesday, April 29 and Thursday, April 30.
You have the power to make a difference. You are in a position to profoundly impact school children in Newton by doubling your impact this month. For the entire month of June, your donation will be matched up to $35,000 thanks to the generosity of a long-time supporter of the Newton Food Pantry.
The number of hungry households with children has almost doubled since pre-pandemic times, according to census data. Before COVID-19, about 9% of households with children struggled with food costs. In October of 2021, that number climbed to almost 17%. The Newton Food Pantry numbers have almost tripled since the pandemic, from 3,500 visits or deliveries in 2018 to over 10,000 in 2021!
Food costs are soaring for everyone, but with the help of our inventory partners and wholesale food costs, the $70,000 we’ll raise this June will help feed over 450 households this summer.
Help us change the lives of school children in Newton this summer. Every donation counts and will have double the impact this month. Even $25 will help your neighbors in need. Donate today!
