Through May 8th: Citywide Diaper Drive Collection
May 11th: Diaper Distribution
One in three families struggles to afford diapers, making it even harder for them to buy food and other necessities. Last year we were able to provide diapers to over 200 families and we hope to support even more this year. This is the FINAL WEEK to donate diapers – help us make sure we can give each family a generous supply!

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS: FOOD PANTRY DELIVERY
We are looking for volunteers who can help deliver groceries from our local food pantries to our neighbors who are unable to get to the pantries on their own.
Our schedule is:
Tuesdays from Centre Street Food Pantry. Pickup at 12 or 12:15 before the pantry opens to the public.
Wednesdays from Newton Food Pantry. Scheduled pickups between 12:15 - 2:45.
It usually takes about an hour of your time and makes a big difference to so many in our community!
