Greater New Bedford Food Pantries Currently Open
We know that the coronavirus has left us in uncertain times. Now more than ever, access to food and other basic needs is crucial for families.
We reached out to Victoria Grasela, the Vice President of Marketing and Community Engagement with United Way of Greater New Bedford to find the latest information regarding local pantries. "We're getting a lot of questions about where people can access food right now. Not all pantries are open, so it's about getting the correct information out. Our Hunger Commission is still in operation and working hard to provide our services to those in need."
If you find yourself struggling to feed yourself and your family, here are some places in Greater New Bedford that you can go to.
