Helping Hand Food Pantry
Helping Hand Food Pantry provides groceries and referrals to individuals in need of assistance. We serve between 300 and 400 households each month. The pantry does not have a residency requirement on Thursdays or Saturdays, and serves people living throughout the Greater Boston area. People wishing to use the pantry must bring an MA Identification Card or License. T-passes and EBT cards will not be accepted.
During our redevelopment, the Food Pantry will be held at Fresh Pond Apartments, 362 Rindge Avenue, Cambridge.
Volunteers are much needed. If you are interested in helping out, please contact Rev Karen Coleman at (617) 876-4381, or email her at foodpantry@stjames-cambridge.org
The pantry is open during the following hours:
- Tuesdays: 4 to 6 PM (Cambridge, Somerville and Arlington residents only)
- Thursdays: 11 to 1 PM
- Saturdays: 10 to 12 PM
