Food Cupboard

The Weekend Emergency Food Pantry program offered by Church of the Covenant provides free groceries and other necessities to Boston residents in urgent need. This ministry was developed by the church in response to widespread need in the city, and the fact that many other food pantries are closed on the weekends.

The hours of the food pantry are Saturday and Sunday mornings, from 10 am to noon. It operates out of the back entry at Church of the Covenant. The building is located at the corner of Berkeley and Newbury Streets in Boston's Back Bay, and the food pantry entry is down the alley off of Berkeley Street.

The pantry is staffed by volunteers and one staff supervisor; food is obtained from the Boston Food Bank and other vendors, thanks to public and private donations.

People seeking assistance should bring photo identification. Visits are limited to once each calendar month.
