Wilmington Food Pantry To Offer Assistance For Families In Need On March 13 & 27

Below is information from the Wilmington Community Fund:

WILMINGTON, MA — The Wilmington Community Fund services a pantry supplying food products on a bimonthly basis to those in need. If you are experiencing food-insecurity and you need help–you are welcome. Shelves are stocked solely by community donations. As always food items can be dropped off anytime in our bins at Market Basket and McKinnon’s Market, or on Saturdays at the Food Pantry (10am to noon).

If you are a Wilmington resident in need of assistance, you will need to fill out an application. Proof of residency (photo ID, pay stub or a current bill) is required. An interview for assistance will be conducted on-site. See below for further information how to register for food assistance.
