The Brookline Food Pantry distributes over $130,000 in food each year to Brookline residents. Half of the food is provided by private donations – people like us who can bring nonperishable food items when we come to worship at All Saints. The youth of our parish also participate in special activities such as making pies at Thanksgiving. You can participate by bringing a donation to All Saints, volunteering to drop off items at the pantry once a month, or making a monetary contribution.
How to get involved:
- Bring food donations to All Saints Parish
- Volunteering to deliver food to the pantry
- Make a monetary contribution
