Watertown Food Pantry Needs Temporary Location During Church Renovation Project
WATERTOWN – The following press release was provided by the Watertown Senior Center & Watertown Food Pantry.
Due to construction of the host site, the Watertown Food Pantry must relocate for 12-18 months starting this summer.
The Watertown Food Pantry provides food assistance to any Watertown resident and surrounding cities and towns in need. Clients can visit the Food Pantry two times per month to select fresh produce, eggs, meat, and shelf stable foods.
In 2022, the Food Pantry assisted over 140 families/340 individuals per week, making the annual distribution benefit around 13,000 persons. For the past three decades, the Food Pantry has been generously housed at the Belmont-Watertown United Methodist Church (formerly known as St. John’s) at 80 Mt. Auburn Street. In the very near future, the church building will be undergoing major renovations, requiring the Food Pantry to relocate for the duration of the construction.
Anyone who may have a site are encouraged to contact: [email protected].
