    Info

    We serve individuals and families located in Brookline, Needham, Waltham, Watertown, and Wellesley. In order to receive food, please visit https://www.centrestfoodpantry.org/get-groceries.

    If you are located in one of our service areas you are eligible to pick up food once a month. We are open every Tuesday and every 3rd Saturday of the month. Most of our Tuesday service is appointment only, you can make an appointment up to a week in advance here. If you are unable to make an appointment, you may pick up groceries between 3:30-5:00pm, while supplies last. If you or a member of your household are 65+, you may pick up groceries without an appointment during the first hour of our service, from 1:00pm-2:00pm.

    On your first visit, you must bring a recent (within the past 4 month) bill, lease or statement that shows your name and address. You may also provide a recent document from the school system that shows your child's name. If you are picking up for your family, you must provide the names and birthdays of all household members. When you arrive a volunteer will work with you to fill out the registration form.

    We are located at 11 Homer St, Newton, however we distribute food out of our side entrance on Furber Lane. If you are arriving by car, please pull into the line on Homer Street. If you are walking to us, please go to the tent closest to Homer Street and a volunteer will come to meet you.

  15. Do I need an appointment?

    Every location is different! Some places in Birds Hill accept appointments, some require it, and others allow walk-ins. Please review all details on the resource page to understand how you should prepare for your visit.

  16. What kind of food do they have?

    Food pantries offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself. Soup kitchens offer ready-to-eat items like hot meals or sandwiches. All of these locations may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  17. Do they have vegetables?

    Pantries may have different options at different times, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day. Most pantries in Birds Hill do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.

  18. Do they have meat?

    Pantries may have different options on different days, so it’s hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.

  19. Any pantries open today?

    If you’ve signed up for personalized assistance through our text message helpline, please take a look at the links we’ve sent you! If none of the resources we’ve sent are open today, let us know and we can search for additional options. Here’s a list of everything in Birds Hill that’s open today: Needham Community Council Food Pantry

  20. Where are you located?

    Because our work is mostly virtual, the Lemontree team works remotely, and we don’t have an office in Birds Hill for in-person visits. You can always reach us by texting 90847 between 10am-6pm, every day of the week.
