New Hours at the Easton Food Pantry

May 25, 2021 By: Admin

Since 1978, The Easton Food Pantry has been dedicated to providing food to our neighbors in times of need. As long as there are hungry people in our community, our doors and hearts will be open to help. Bank of Easton is a proud supporter of the Easton Food Pantry. 

• Call in by 5:00 PM Sunday evenings at (508) 230-0670 and leave the following info on voicemail: name, address, phone number, and the number of members in the family. Speak slowly and clearly.
• Clients must remain in their cars at all times. Someone will come to the car to check you in and a volunteer will bring your bag/s to your trunk. Please make certain it is clear.
• You must wear a mask when speaking with our volunteers.
• Please do not line up prior to opening; it impedes Town Hall traffic.

If you are newly in need of food and supplies, come see us on Mondays from 12:00 PM – 3:30 PM. Please bring with you proof of Easton residency, such as a current utility bill, tax bill, etc. that has your name and address on it (driver’s licenses are not considered proof of residency). Stay in your car, and a volunteer will come to register you.

For the safety of our clients and volunteers, the Pantry will not open during severely cold or stormy weather. If you are in doubt, call ahead.
