Call for Volunteers: Food Pantry Delivery
Help deliver groceries from local food pantries to our neighbors who are unable to get to the pantries on their own. This is an important initiative for Newton Neighbors and, especially during the holiday season, we can always use more hands (and cars). If you are able to help, we would be most grateful! It usually takes about an hour of your time and makes a big difference to so many in our community.
Our schedule is:
- Tuesdays from Centre Street Food Pantry. Pickup time 2:15 – 2:45.
- Wednesdays from Newton Food Pantry. Scheduled pickups between 12:15 – 2:45.

Call for Volunteers: Freedge
Every Thursday, Newton Neighbors coordinates donations to the Newton Community Freedge, Newton Food Pantry’s community refrigerator and pantry initiative. Volunteer opportunities throughout the day include picking up donations from business partners and bringing them to the Freedge, and cleaning and maintaining the Freedge.
Located in the parking lot of Central Cleaners at 420 Watertown Street in Nonantum, the Freedge is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and offers free food and personal-care items to neighbors in need.
