Want to help your neighbors but unable to commit to long-term programs? Come and help with some of the programs run by Newton Neighbors. Sign up to volunteer for a day, a month or multiple days a week, whatever fits your schedule! Involve your kids too!
Food pantry delivery:
We are looking for volunteers who can help deliver groceries from our local food pantries to our neighbors who are unable to get to the pantries on their own.
We especially need drivers for our TUESDAY deliveries from Centre Street Food Pantry.
Our schedule is:
- Tuesdays from Centre Street Food Pantry. Pickup at either 12 p.m. or 12:15 p.m. before the pantry opens to the public.
- Wednesdays from Newton Food Pantry. Scheduled pickups between 12:15 – 2:45 p.m.
It usually takes about an hour of your time and makes a big difference to so many in our community!
Sign up here for January.
Newton Community Freedge:
Newton Neighbors continues to support the Freedge, Newton Food Pantry’scommunity refrigerator and pantry initiative. Located in the parking lot of Central Cleaners at 420 Watertown Street in Nonantum, the Freedge is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and offers free food and personal-care items to anyone in need.
Newton Neighbors oversees volunteers on Thursdays and has volunteer opportunities throughout the day. Activities include picking up food from business partners and bringing it to the Freedge, shopping for items, and cleaning and maintaining the Freedge.
