Volunteer urgently needed.
St. Anthony’s Free Market needs a volunteer to drive a box truck to the Greater Boston Food Bank drop site in New Bedford on the 2^nd Wednesday of each month to pick up 6500 pounds of food and deliver  it to 2 Park Ave where volunteers will unload it.  This takes about 5 hours from 7:30AM-12:30PM.

 Please call Christine Gallagher at 781-344-6390 if you can help or would like more information.  Thank you and God Bless
 

The National Junior Honor Society  members from The O’Donnell Middle School  wanted to help our neighbors during the holiday season by holding  a food drive.  Many boxes and bags of  food were donated  to St Anthony’s Free Market.  Keep up the good work!  God Bless. 

The Knights of Columbus, the Ilse Marks Food Pantry and St. Anthony’s Free Market distributed 200 turkeys to local families  this year.

Thanks to the generosity of the Stoughton community our neighbors had a
HAPPY THANKSGIVING. 
God Bless.

Envision Bank presented a check for $10,000.00 to the Food Pantry Foundation of Stoughton to be given to St. Anthony’s Free Market. This most generous donation  will be a tremendous support to us in our mission of feeding our neighbors especially during this pandemic.  With Sincere gratitude, 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.

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.
