Norwood Food Pantry

Big thanks to Pastor Amanda and the entire Emmanuel Lutheran Church for hosting a month-long food drive for the Pantry which resulted in 360lbs of food donations. Because of their hard work and generosity, our shelves are stocked and ready to serve local families this fall.

Community supporting community - that’s what it’s all about! 🧡

Every year we look forward to Norwood Day. It's a special time when our amazing volunteers connect with the local community and educate folks as they visit our booth. A big thanks to all the volunteers who organized, setup and worked at the booth this year. WhooHooo!

A special thank you to our kind donor, Jeanne, for her incredible generosity! Jeanne sourced and organized 120 back-to-school supply packets - packed with everything local kids need to feel ready and confident for their first day of school. ✏️🎒

This tradition of care runs deep. Jeanne’s mother was a dedicated pantry volunteer, and Jeanne has been carrying on that legacy by providing school supplies to our families every year since 2010!

14 years of making sure our community’s students start the school year supported and prepared is a truly remarkable gift. Thank you, Jeanne, for your steadfast kindness and dedication to our neighbors!

A big thank you to the Trinity Community Church Children’s Program for visiting the Norwood Food Pantry!

It was a joy to show these young leaders how our pantry works and how their efforts directly help their neighbors. On top of their visit, they organized a food drive that brought in 437 pounds of food donations!

A special thank you to Pastor Eric Peterson and Trinity Community Church for their continued commitment to our mission and for inspiring the next generation to give back. Together, we're building a stronger, more caring community!

Thank you for helping us nourish our neighbors!

A heartfelt thank you to Mystic Fabrication Office for their incredible donation of food to the Norwood Food Pantry! Summer is one of the most challenging times of the year for food pantries. While donations often slow down, the need in our community remains high. Gifts like this help ensure our shelves remain stocked for neighbors who rely on us.

A special thank you to Allison for organizing this wonderful effort, to Verb for personally delivering the donation, and to a special thank you to Mystic Custom Fabrications Main Office for organizing this wonderful effort! Your generosity and teamwork will make a meaningful difference for local individuals and families experiencing food insecurity.

We are so grateful for your support year after year and for remembering that the need doesn't take a summer vacation. Together, we're building a stronger, more caring community.

💙 Thank you for helping us nourish our neighbors!

Our local churches do a lot to support the pantry, some in major ways. St. Catherine's, St. Tims, and the Anglican Church of the Redeemer put the "E" in ecumenical for all of the food donations they provide each month. Thank you so much!

We are so grateful for our giving community! In less than 24 hours, we received several donations of all types of bags. We are full to the brim with bags! Thank you!

We need BAGS! Any type of bag that we can pack food into for our clients. Paper, plastic (think durable, not produce), reusable bags, canvas bags, etc. They should be clean with no holes or rips. If you have bags from a delivery company, remove the address labels! Drop off in our brown box behind Grace church at 150 Chapel St.
