Making Donations to the Food Pantry

Making a donation to the pantry is simple! Just pick up one extra item while you are shopping at the grocery store. Many stores have Burlington Community Food Pantry drop-off boxes at the exit. If your store does not have a drop-off box, donations can dropped off at the Food Pantry by calling 781-270-6625, to schedule a time.
