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.
