The Southborough Food Pantry gets a significant amount of its donations from the Southborough schools. That means during the summer when school is not in session, it can be harder to keep the pantry shelves full. The next time you’re at the grocery store, why not pick up a few items to donate? While the pantry accepts most non-perishable items, a list of things they particularly need is below.
Donations can be dropped off at Pilgrim, St. Anne, St. Mark’s, St. Matthew, or First Community churches. There are also collection boxes at Walgreens on Route 9 and at Marlborough Savings Bank in downtown Southborough.
