St Anthony’s Free Market is looking for a volunteer starting in September to drive a box truck to the Greater Boston Food Bank drop site in New Bedford to pick up 6500 pounds of food  and deliver it to 2 Park Ave where volunteers will unload it.  This takes about 5 hours (7:30AM-12:30Noon) on the 2^nd Wednesday of each month.
 
Please call Christine Gallagher at
781-344-6390 if you can help or would like more information. 
Thank you and God Bless

St. Anthony’s Free Market is remaining open every Friday 9:30-12noon during the COVID-19 pandemic providing pre-bagged food to Stoughton residents using a drive-thru procedure to keep clients and volunteers safe.  We are making up bags of food and coordinating with the Council on Aging  to have food delivered to our seniors and disabled residents at this time also.  God Bless us all.

 

The greater Boston Food Bank has informed  St. Anthony’s Free Market there is now a limit of 6500 pounds of food we can order each month. This is 1200 plus pounds of food less every month which will have significant impact on how much food we can give to our clients. We appreciate and rely on your continuous  generosity in our mission of feeding our  neighbors. Thank you and God Bless.

St. Anthony’s  Free Market  has a long history of helping  people through difficult times in their lives.  Maintaining an area where you and your story are safe is very important to us. No information you give will ever be shared with anyone else.  We called upon St Anthony as our Patron because he is the patron saint of helping to find things that are lost. Many people who come to us all have experienced a loss--perhaps a job, a spouse, their sobriety, etc.   This is a hard world if nobody touches your shoulder and offers to help.

We are a 100% volunteer organization, now in existence for nearly 20 years. It is our mission to help contribute to the nutritional needs of Stoughton citizens.
