Please remember to check the expiration dates before you donate. (Also, note that while it’s fine to donate multi-packs, please don’t donate jumbo/commercial-sized items, like giant jars.)
The food donations can be dropped off in the storage bins at the back entrance of Pilgrim Church, 15 Common Street.
Gift cards, cash or checks should be mailed to Southborough Food Pantry c/o Pilgrim Church, P.O. Box 281, Southborough, MA 01772.

For donations in future weeks, you can always check on the pantry’s latest needs by clicking on their ad on this blog (a larger version of the image left is located in the column right under recent comments). The ad links to their website, which includes their current needs list.
*Due to storage constraints, they ask for donors to please stick to the list of items they know they have need for.
