We do this with the help of a generous community and with dedicated volunteers. We provide canned goods, pasta, rice, cereals, meat, milk, cheese, eggs, etc. When available, we also supply diapers and some personal products.

Thanks to a group of concerned citizens, which then became The Weymouth Council for the Hungry, the Weymouth Food Pantry opened in 1987 with a little food and a lot of love in its heart. There was then, and is now, a real need for a food pantry in Weymouth. What we do is feed the hungry and those at risk of going hungry. We see the young and the old, families and individuals, the working poor and those who cannot work because of poor health, age or incapacitating mental illness. Some are in or trying to recover from a life crisis.

Anyone in town who needs help is welcome. Our staff of volunteers is here to help.

          The Hunger Equation

Your Efforts + Our Efforts =  Less Hunger in Weymouth

Weymouth is comprised of many neighborhoods. Whether you are a community neighbor, a next door neighbor or a business neighbor, your help is desperately needed to ease the plight of the hungry in Weymouth.

Become a key part of the hunger equation.

Without YOU, we would not be able to help.

Taste of Weymouth & Merchants Nite

Sincere thanks to the East Weymouth Neighborhood Association, for sponsoring the Taste of Weymouth and Merchants Nite at the Weymouth Elks on April 23rd. Attendance far exceeded EWNA's advance estimates. Fortunately, the generosity of the participating Weymouth restaurants provided a wide variety and plenty of delicious food for those attending. This annual gathering has transformed into a truly community-wide extravaganza.

Those attending donated an amazing quantity of non-perishable food for the Weymouth Food Pantry which will help to feed the hungry of Weymouth in the months ahead. In addition, the cash contributions made at the door will assist us greatly.  The East Weymouth Neighborhood Association presented the Food Pantry with more than $3,000 in cash and gift cards as the proceeds of this event.

For every dollar donated, the Pantry is able to obtain about $7.00 worth of healthy and nutritious food from the Boston Food Bank.
