As a division of the Maynard Food Pantry we focus our attention on providing nutritious nonperishable food for kids on weekends during the school year. Our mission is to provide food assistance for children in our community that will support and promote learning in our schools. We deliver bags of food to the schools every Friday.

How to Donate Food

Children’s food items are more specific in types of food and smaller in size. Currently our small food donation location is the children’s section of the Maynard Public Library. For large donations, volunteering opportunities and general questions please contact Audrey Wiseley via email or text.
