The Wellesley Food Pantry depends upon the Wellesley community to keep its shelves stocked.

WFP collection bins are at Roche Bros. Please refer to our wish list for donating items most in need at this time.
Donate Your Time
Our regular volunteer hours are Monday and Tuesday afternoons. Do you have a special skill (e.g., communications, technology, accounting) that you think could benefit the Pantry?
Money Donation
The Wellesley Food Pantry depends upon the Wellesley community to keep its shelves stocked.
On average every week we spend more than $2,500 to purchase foods such as fresh vegetables and fruits, meats, and other items. We also purchase non-perishable items when donations are low. Most of your donation goes to stocking the Pantry — our administrative expenses are minimal, as our staff and management are all volunteers, and the Wellesley Hills Congregational Church provides us with rent-free space.
You can also help the Pantry avoid the PayPal fees by mailing your check, payable to the Wellesley Food Pantry, to: Wellesley Food Pantry, 207 Washington Street, Wellesley, MA 02481
We are a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization. Donations and contributions are tax-deductible as allowed by law. Our tax ID number is 45-0941804.
Thank you for your help supporting our neighbors!
