Thank you to Jersey Mike’s Subs who presented the Food Pantry Foundation of Stoughton with all the proceeds, $6,000.00, from their grand opening on Feb 10^th.  The money will be divided equally between the Ilse Marks Food Pantry and St. Anthony’s Free Market.  Good Luck and God Bless.

Town of Stoughton COVID Emergency Housing Assistance Fund

Is your family struggling to pay its monthly rent or mortgage as a result of the COVID pandemic? Do you know a family who might be in that situation?

Through a grant from its Community Preservation Fund, Stoughton has created a COVID Emergency Housing Assistance Fund to provide Stoughton residents who have lost income as a result of the pandemic with assistance in paying their rent or mortgage. The attached flyer provides more information about this program.

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.
