Monthly Food Drive
The MCSS food program provides monthly food packages to more than 90 families in need of assistance including the elderly, refugees and the poor. Volunteers gather monthly on the 3rd Saturday of each month to pack and deliver food in an effort to battle hunger. The food program needs your time and energy to continue this effort and to continue to work on our obligations to our neighbors. The tasks we need to accomplish are:
Packing (starting 11am)
Deliveries (starting 12:30 pm)
The towns we need to cover for deliveries are: Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Charlestown, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, Roxbury, South Boston, and South End. If you can help with deliveries, please contact us which town(s) you prefer to cover and the number of deliveries you can make, so we can plan the routes beforehand.
