Thank You Upton Men's Club for collecting canned goods during their annual Easter Egg Hunt and donating to local food pantries, including ours!!
Thank You Upton Ridge for a bountiful neighborhood food drive! We are grateful for each and every donation!!
Big thanks to local Brownie and Girl Scout troops for their donation of Girl Scout cookies! We have a lot of happy patrons when these special treats are available. We appreciate the thoughtfulness of the donation.
The Vista program at Nipmuc High School, Upton. This program brings students with intellectual or physical challenges, class interns and their teachers to the pantry as part of their real world learning program. We provide them with funds to shop for specific food pantry items, stock shelves and sort donations. An invaluable piece of our mission.
Soul Fuel Coins for Coffee...many of our food pantry patrons take advantage of this kindness and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee from our Soul Fuel Cafe. Coins can also be purchased to donate as well.
