Margaret helping out at the food pantry.

Food Pantry

The Lee Food Pantry is open every Saturday morning from 10am–12pm. It is located at 45 Railroad Street in Lee, MA. Dedicated volunteers from our church staff the pantry on the fourth Saturday of each month.

Donations

We are a drop-off site for the Lee Food Pantry. The church office is open most weekdays – please call the office first (413-243-1033) if you’d like to drop something off to make sure someone is here.

Remember — food shortages don’t only happen around the holidays, though it is a time when it may be keenly felt.
