Brookline Emergency Food Pantry

The Brookline Food Pantry was established in 1984 as an emergency food pantry at St. Paul's Church and became a permanent food pantry in 2003 as the need for food assistance continued to grow in the community. Now operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the pantry serves over 800 households each week along with more than 400 K-8 students through its Thrives weekend program, offering support to families and individuals experiencing food insecurity in Brookline. Beyond its pantry distribution services, the organization also provides emergency food delivery for homebound residents and works closely with the Greater Boston Food Bank to ensure a consistent supply of food resources.
