Pantry clients please enter through front door
Because the Bedford Town Center building is undergoing renovations, we have changed the procedure for Food Pantry clients. Instead of coming in the back door marked "Deliveries", please enter through the front door and walk down the stairs. Wait in the hallway until you reach the front of the line, at which point you will receive your bags and free items. Then you can stay for dinner in the room across from the Pantry, or exit through the back door. Thanks for your cooperation!
Bedford Get In Shape for Women promotion extended
For the rest of the summer, every time a Bedford GISFW client refers a friend who ends up becoming a GISFW member, the Food Pantry will receive $100. We'll also get $1 for every pound lost by members who bring a friend. Help yourself, your friends, the pantry, and a local business all at the same time! Many thanks to Bedford Get In Shape for Women.
June promotion at Bedford Get In Shape for Women supports Food Pantry!
Our friends at Bedford's Get In Shape for Women are helping the Food Pantry with a promotion in June. They are running a weight loss challenge where clients can bring a friend, and for every pound lost, they will donate $1 to the Pantry. Also, for each of these friends that joins GISFW, they will donate $100. This is a great way to do something good for yourself and for Bedford Food Pantry. Thanks, GISFW!
Suggestions for Community Dinners?
We've been providing free community dinners for a long time. Lately there have been wide swings in attendance, from as few as 13 people to as many as 55. We'd like to know what we can do to improve attendance overall. Do you have suggestions for us, or insight into why some nights attendance is so low? We'd love to hear your thoughts. Please send us a note using the Contact link, or leave a message at 781-275-7355. Thanks for your help!
Pantry and Community Dinners closed on public school snow days
Just a reminder that if the Bedford Public Schools close due to weather, the Food Pantry does not operate and the Community Dinner is canceled.
