Good Neighbors Pantry Distribution! Date: Every Third Saturday Time: Volunteers Start at 3:30PM, end by 7PM Location: St. Chrysostom’s Episcopal Church, 1 Linden St, Quincy, MA 02170 Parking: on-site!
We are thrilled to be hosting Good Neighbors Food Pantry at St. Chrysostom's Church every third Saturday of the month.
Volunteer at the Good Neighbors Pantry! Join us for this hands-on volunteer opportunity to help make our community food pantry a welcoming and supportive space for local families in need. Volunteer tasks include:
• Helping set up the pantry • Greeting guests as they arrive & helping coordinate pantry flow • Assisting guests with food selection and carrying items if needed • Restocking inventory during the pantry (maybe light lifting of boxes) • Breaking down and cleaning up after the event
No prior experience is necessary, just a friendly attitude and willingness to help. Come be part of a team that brings food, care, and community to those who need it most.
We'll reach out to you with day-of details the week before service. We are happy to answer any questions. Please contact us at goodneighborsne@gmail.com for a speedy response.
Not sure what to wear?
• Comfortable clothes you don’t mind moving around in • Shoes appropriate for standing \~3 hours (closed-toe recommended)
We’re excited to see you there and for your help in serving our community!

A list of helpful items can be found [on this link](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1volGohI5Q6B30agJZbOJOd4sTYN5jYYcZ248J7sy6pM/edit?usp=drive_link); here are some examples:

*Perishable Items* Perishables (fresh produce, dairy, eggs, etc.) can be donated within the week before the pantry, depending on remaining shelf life. Please reach out before dropping these items off so that we can coordinate proper storage.
We look forward to a successful pantry day. Thank you for contributing to this community-wide effort!
