The volunteers at Centre Street Food Pantry run an efficient organization, given all the moving parts. But they have had one speed bump for many months. Can you think of anyone who can do lifting and toting AND has a small truck or nearly empty cargo van? And a good spirit? You? A neighbor? A friend? Your company? A vendor?
Twice a month (Tuesday mid-mornings) they go to the Greater Boston Food Bank in South Bay and load up with food and fresh items…..and it would be great to have consistent help. Please contact centrestfoodpantry@gmail.com if you can help. Thanks!
