Interfaith offers a variety of programs and services to our clients, and our “pantry” has grown to be one of the largest emergency food programs in Greater Boston. Last year volunteers distributed more than 1,020,572 pounds of food to hungry families in Quincy and around the South Shore of Massachusetts.
We pride ourselves on providing fresh, healthy food to our client families. We welcome donations of homegrown produce - please come around the the food pantry's back door with your donations.
The best time to donate is Monday-Friday between noon and 3pm.
ProducePedia
ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!
The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
