FOOD PANTRY
The Tewksbury and Wilmington food
pantries supplying food products on a
bimonthly basis, helping those in need of
assistance (especially around the holidays).
It is not uncommon to find people needing emergency food assistance who never could have imagined they'd be
in that situation.
Sometimes, it's a work lay-off, a strike, an illness, or other
situations that can bring a family to the door of a community food pantry. Someone may become disabled and homebound, unable to fend for
themselves; or a minimum wage job may force a parent to choose between paying the rent or feeding their family. These are examples of the
types of situations as to why individuals may find themselves in need for
assistance.
We know that times are tough for everyone but it you have a little left
over please think of the less fortunate than you.
Let’s show the communities that we live in that:
