Wachusett Food Pantry

The Wachusett Food Pantry (WFP) is a free-of-charge food pantry that offers emergency, monthly food to families in need. 

Non-perishable groceries usually consist of cereal, rice, macaroni & cheese, peanut butter, pasta, ground meat, canned tuna, canned fruit and vegetables, and 100% juice. Additionally, a variety of personal care, special diet, snacks, and baby care items are often available. Fresh produce, meat, cheese, and bread are distributed as long as supplies last. The amount of food received depends upon the size of the family.

Individuals living in Holden, Paxton, Princeton, Rutland or Sterling are eligible to use the pantry upon completion of annual registration. Please note that the only requirement is proof of residency.

Upon arrival, please remain in your vehicle where you will be assisted by volunteers.
