When clients arrive at our pantry location, clients will be asked to take a paper number. If you have arrived early, you may go home or leave the property until the pantry opens. If you plan to wait, please observe social distancing (at least 6 feet from other clients and volunteers). Traffic cones will be used as a gentle reminder of spacing and to allow you to know when it is your turn. If you are not present at the time your number is called, you may shop next when you arrive. 

Each client will receive 1 bag of refrigerator/freezer items, 1 bag of perishable foods such as fruits and vegetables, and 1 bag of nonperishable foods such as rice, cereals, and canned goods for a total of 3 bags. Clients may shop every two weeks. Please contact Chanin Kennedy, Operations Manager, if you believe you need to receive food more frequently. Chanin can be reached at chanin@brooklinefoodpantry.org.
