Food Resources
Do you–or does someone you know–need help finding food?
There are several ways to find free or low-cost food in Boston. See the categories below to help you find what you are looking for.
What do you need?
Call the Project Bread Hotline: 1-800-645-8333
Counselors can help callers apply for SNAP, as well as find hot meals and food pantries. The hotline operates in 180 languages.
Use the Greater Boston Food Bank pantry finder.
Put in your neighborhood, zip code, or address and pantries in the area will appear, with hours, descriptions, and contact information (if available). You can also use the "filter" button to help you find what you are looking for.
