Upton community overwhelms Food Pantry with generosity, need continues

The Upton Community Center Food Pantry is extremely grateful for the outpouring of generosity from the Upton community. In recent weeks, residents have come together in incredible ways — shopping for pantry staples, purchasing gift cards, and ensuring that shelves remain stocked for neighbors in need.

The need, however, continues to grow. With the recent end of SNAP benefits, many local families are facing uncertainty about where their next meal will come from — especially as the holiday season approaches.  A list of most-needed items is available at https://bit.ly/UptonFoodPantryList. 

People can also:

1. Stop by the Upton Community Center (9 Milford Street) to drop off food donations in the Senior Center lobby during open hours, and financial donations Mon-Fri, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

2. Follow “Upton Community Center” on Facebook for updates and special drives.

3. Visit www.uptonma.gov for full details and resources.

The Upton Community Center Food Pantry has extended its hours to Mondays 9:30 - 11:30 a.m., Wednesdays 12 - 3 p.m., Fridays 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.
