Where does the food come from?

Dracut is a community that has a history of taking care of its own during difficult times, and we are blessed with people who truly care and want to help. Food is provided through food drives at schools, businesses and organizations; monetary donations from the community; and from the generous Friends of the Dracut Food Pantry, who receive an email update each month of the “most needed” items, shop for those items, and drop them off at the food pantry, at Town Hall and at the Library.

A Special Note:

Dear Dracut Food Pantry: We respectfully request your consideration to add the Merrimack Valley Food Bank as a source of food for the pantry guests on your website when possible.

THANK YOU!

On behalf of the Dracut Food Pantry, we want to express our sincere appreciation to the Old Home Day Committee for allowing us to participate at Old Home Day this past Saturday, which gave us the opportunity to share with others how we serve our Dracut Community. While having had the pleasure of meeting new people and explaining who we are, we even acquired a few new volunteers.

Thank you, also, to our current volunteers with whom we spent the day, and especially to the generous people who made monetary donations and to those who dropped off necessary food items, in helping to serve the needs of others. Whether you want to volunteer, drop off food or if you may need help getting food, please feel free to contact us.

For anyone wanting to drop off food we have a few locations helpful for you, the Dracut Town Hall, the Dracut Library and at our newest location Nutrition Junction at 1734 Lakeview Avenue (Tennis Plaza), Dracut, MA.
