Food Assistance Resources

With SNAP benefits being shut down, we want our communities to still have access to nutritious meals. Below is a list of local food pantries serving Dorchester, Roxbury, and Jamaica Plain (add other areas). You can also use the Greater Boston Food Bank’s pantry locator by simply entering your address to find pantries near you.

For food assistance beyond the Boston area, visit the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts (research other ones) for additional support and resources.
