WAchusett food pantry
serving the wachusett area since 1995
Who We Are
The Wachusett Food Pantry (WFP) is a non-profit, non-denominational, volunteer organization founded in January 1995 after a careful needs assessment of the Wachusett area. The pantry is a free-of-charge, emergency, monthly food program offering 3-5 days of meals to any family in Holden, Paxton, Princeton, Rutland, Sterling, or West Boylston with either a short-term or long-term need.
What We Provide
Anyone living in Holden, Paxton, Princeton, Rutland, Sterling, or West Boylston is eligible to use the pantry upon completion of annual registration. The Wachusett Food Pantry does not discriminate against race, religion, color or age. The WFP and its volunteers value and respect the privacy right of its recipients. The pantry has served approximately 1100 families since inception. Approximately 140 families are served every month.
Our BOard of Directors
The Board of Directors is composed of volunteer, local community members committed to its hunger-relief mission. The Board actively participates in the monthly food distribution, as well as overseeing general pantry management and compliance with governmental and Worcester County Food Bank requirements.
