If you have questions regarding the food pantry, please reach out to us at  foodpantry@fourthboston.org

SNAP

If you are not already receiving SNAP benefits as well, we encourage you to call Project Bread’s FoodSource Hotline at 1-800-645-8333 (TTY: 1-800-377-1292) or their online resource to find out if you are eligible for SNAP benefit.

How we Operate

We no longer require appointments. Just show up ready to receive some food!

  • We recommend bringing a cart if you are walking.
  • ID is not required.
  • One household visit per distribution. (If you and your partner live together and prepare meals together, you are considered a household.)
  • We have resumed our full choice program.
  • Allow extra time and patience for your appointment as we expect more guests than normal with fewer volunteers.

Food Pantry Volunteers

We are really in need of volunteers, especially ones that can lift and carry heavy boxes (60 pounds), have foreign language skills, work well with people, or are a little computer savvy.

Please contact us at office@fourthboston.org if you are interested.

Boston Food Access Council

Learn about the Boston Food Access Council and also how you can advocate for the food insecure. All community members and Boston food organizations are welcome!

COVID-19 Emergency Donation

During the COVID-19 pandemic, our Food Pantry expects to see a dramatic increase in the number of guests needing aid. Please support this mission as we aim to ease the burden on those without secure access to food.
