MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS
1. Effective August 6h, food distribution hours on Fridays will change to 1PM to 3:30PM (they were 1PM to 4PM).
2. By the end of the year we need to find a new home. A major renovation is set to start January 2022 at Town Hall and the construction crews will need the space we are now using for our trailers. Also, there would be a danger to our clients and volunteers if we tried to operate at Town Hall during construction. The Town has been incredibly supportive of the Easton Food Pantry since they started hosting us in 1978, so we want to thank them for that! They will also help us gong forward in finding a new location. We do welcome any suggestions for a new location. We estimate that with the Town Hall basement space and our on site trailers that we are now using approximately 2000 square feet of space. So our new location must have at least that, though we would prefer larger. Please use the Contact Form on this web site to share any suggestions for a new site. With the support of the people of Easton we feel confident that we can manage this transition successfully!
3. With the exception of the Food Drives currently scheduled - as noted on the Calendar page of this website - Food Drives are temporarily suspended until further notice. We have one per month scheduled through September and after that we hope to be planning a move to our new location. Once there we can resume Food Drives. Thanks!
We're here to help. Call us ANYTIME at (508) 230-0670. Messages are checked daily. In order to receive food, all you need is proof of Easton residency. We understand the importance of your privacy. Please know ALL NAMES are kept confidential.
Distribution Hours effective July 9th 2021:
Fridays
1:00 to 4:00 pm
The food pantry is in the basement of the Town Hall. During the Covid pandemic, we ask recipients to form a line in their cars to the right of the orange cones set up at Town Hall and leave your trunk open (it should be empty). Our volunteers will then place food into your trunk.
We welcome financial and non-perishable food donations as specified in the pages noted in the header and footer of this web page. Food drives have resumed. Please contact us in advance of scheduling one. We hope to spread them out over the course of the year so that we do not exceed our storage space should multiple drives take place simultaneously.
