With the upcoming school breaks, The Newton Food Pantry wants to make sure that anyone experiencing food insecurity knows how to get help, even when school is not in session. Two easy options are the Newton Food Pantry and the Newton Community Freedge.
The Newton Food Pantry is now serving over 1,800 Newton residents at our renovated City Hall basement location, 1000 Commonwealth Avenue. Clients are able to shop for the items they want and need, selecting from a variety of dry goods, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, personal care items and culturally-relevant foods. Walk-in shopping hours are every Wednesday from 3pm to 7pm.
Shoppers at the Newton Food Pantry must be Newton residents (or they can be Newton-based college students or staff), provide proof of residency and complete a New Client Registration Form, found here.
The Newton Community Freedge is at 420 Watertown St. The Freedge is a free refrigerator & pantry stocked by community and local businesses in the parking lot of Central Drapery & Dry Cleaner. It can be accessed 24 hours a day by anyone. No forms or Newton residency required.
Additional information about the Newton Food Pantry and Freedge can be found, translated in 4 languages, on our Get Help page.

Bigelow is excited to welcome back Ruby Bridges for an engaging virtual presentation on April 14, 2022 at 12:30pm. Ruby Bridges is living history. She was the first African American child to enter the newly desegregated New Orleans school system in 1960. During Ruby’s program, 8th graders will have an interactive discussion with Ruby about the civil rights movement in the 1960’s as well as her ongoing commitment to the idea that if all of our children refuse to allow hatred and racism to be passed down to them, social justice for all will be the outcome.
This program is made possible by Creative Arts & Sciences and the Bigelow PTO.
