We are here for you...
The Scituate Food Pantry is here for every Scituate resident facing food insecurity — no judgment, no barriers. We are an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) organization providing weekly groceries and emergency assistance to neighbors in need. We also offer home delivery for residents who are unable to visit in person, and special holiday support programs to help families during the holiday season. We also offer non-food items, such as household products, personal care items, and baby formula and diapers.
The Food Pantry assists all Scituate residents who need food. Evidence of residency will be required at the time of initial application and periodically after acceptance. We do not require any financial documentation of hardship. If you’re struggling, even temporarily, the Food Pantry is here for you.
