Donations to the Southborough Food Pantry tend to drop off in the summer months, but the needs of the families it serves remain the same. Food pantry volunteers expect a particular need for the following items this summer:
- Tuna and canned meats like chicken and ham
- Canned vegetables
- Pasta and rice
- Cereal
- Tomato products (pasta sauce, diced/stewed tomatoes)
- Jam and jelly
- Peanut butter
- Juice
- Coffee (regular or instant)
- Extended shelf life milk (e.g., Parmalat 1%)
- Toothpaste
- Paper products (paper towels, toilet paper, facial tissue)
- Household products (plastic/aluminum wrap, soap, cleaning products)
Donations can be dropped off at the side entrance of Pilgrim Church — that’s the door near the entrance to the Southborough Town House. The food pantry cannot give out food that has expired, so please check the dates on any donations.
