Allston Brighton Food Pantry Thanksgiving Food Distribution Volunteer Event

The Allston-Brighton Food Pantry will be giving away turkeys and groceries so that everyone can celebrate Thanksgiving. Volunteers are needed to greet guests, make food baskets, give out the food, and assist in our thrift store. Volunteers are needed from 8:30am to 1pm at 404 Washington Street in Brighton. We have a special need for volunteers who speak Cantonese, Russian, Spanish or Portuguese. Children and families welcome. Mission Statement The Allston Brighton Food Pantry provides nourishing food at no cost to members of the Allston-Brighton community. We’re dedicated to maintaining a welcoming atmosphere respectful to all community members without regard to race, religion, social position, ethnicity, gender, age, or sexual orientation. Description In 1974, the Brighton Evangelical Congregational Church (founded in 1827) created the Allston Brighton Food Pantry. In the past 50 years, the Allston Brighton Food Pantry has increased services and community support to include a supper every Wednesday, 22 weekend grocery distributions a year, a free 24/7 community refrigerator, a partnership with the Brighton Marine to serve veterans and their families, distribution of CSA farm shares in partnership with the Allston Brighton Health Collaborative, a thrift store, and an initiative to provide free fruit and vegetable seedlings. In 2022, we provided groceries to over 2076 families in our Saturday distributions- serving over 5183 individuals in total with our grocery distributions. In addition we provide a weekly hot supper and additional groceries to an average of 85 individuals, totaling over 4000 served annually. Beyond food assistance, we provide a place where everyone is welcome and the entire community can come together to help each other.
