The new location of our food bank opened in 2023.
The Food Center is set up as a grocery store where our customers can browse and select their groceries instead of relying on pre-prepared bags. With plenty of shelving and storage space, customers can choose from various food items when they visit. In order to keep the flow of shopping moving, we have volunteers assigned to each person while they are at the food center.
The PACE Community Food Center receives donations from individuals, farms, and local businesses, and the Greater Boston Food Bank distributes them to our clients. The Food Center provides about a week's worth of food, including shelf-stable, fresh, and frozen food items once per week.
