Thanks to Rachel Nelson for using social media to organize a fundraiser for the purchase of new children’s books for Pantry clients; and, thanks to all who contributed towards the purchase of books.

During this pandemic, the SCFP has witnessed substantial community support. Neighbors have volunteered their time. The Chinese-American Association of Sudbury provided needed cleaning supplies in March and organized multiple large food donations for the Pantry thereafter. In addition, all four Sudbury elementary schools organized independent food drives delivering the food during the week ending April 17th. And, The First Baptist Church of Sudbury, the Presbyterian Church, St. John’s Lutheran’s Church, St. Vincent’s Conference at St Anselm’s as well as St. Vincent’s Conference at Our Lady of Fatima each organized successful food drives, most of which food was delivered to the SCFP on Friday April 24th.

And on May 1st, the Memorial Congregational Church of Sudbury (MCC) delivered yet another well-rounded and substantial load of filled banana boxes of donated food and personal products, which all together (with the other donations and what we are able to obtain through Greater Boston Food bank) will help keep our shelves filled for several weeks. Thank you community!!

We gratefully acknowledge receiving a $500.00 grant from The 200 Foundation, issued to further our mission of helping feed the hungry.

The Sudbury Community Food Pantry (SCFP) is the recipient of a $1000.00 grant from Northern Bank & Trust Charitable Foundation. Their continuing support over the years is much appreciated.

Since the onset of November, we have benefitted from an outpouring of local food drives from the Sudbury Public schools, the Curtis Angels (middle school community service group) which organized a food drive outside Sudbury Farms, the LSRHS Varsity Cheer team which organized a food drive outside Shaws, Sudbury’s all-girl Boy Scout Troop 65 which collected food donations throughout their community, and Lincoln Sudbury Regional High School students who collected donations. In addition, local businesses like Bridges of Epoch and Next Generation Children’s Center collected and donated food. Many thanks to all, including the Sudbury residents who individually donated nonperishables, turkeys and pies.
