Help Needed to Stock the Little Free Pantries in Wakefield

The Wakefield Food Pantry (WFP) is asking for the community to help stock the Little Free Pantries (LFP) located around the town. The LFP is a community-driven program where the WFP relies on Wakefield residents to stock the little pantries with nutritious, non-perishable foods for our neighbors in need.

Donations can be made anytime to any location, or you can sign up for various times and locations through the WFP’s Sign Up Genius link: bit.ly/43mTHOu.
