About the Food Pantry
This service to the Bridgewater community is intended to provide supplemental assistance to Bridgewater residents in need. The quantity of food distributed is based on the number of people in each household and the availability of sufficient quantities of specific food items. Patrons are allowed to select their groceries with assistance from a pantry staff person.
A large selection of non-perishable items is usually available, as well as selected perishable items based on availability. Proof of Bridgewater residency is required to participate in the program.
Donations Requested
Monetary donations are greatly appreciated. You can donate for food purchases, but we also ask that you consider donating for operations as well. Central Square Church generously donates all of the operating expenses for the Bridgewater Food Pantry, including the electricity and oil to run all of the refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, lights, and heat; phone support; administrative work of the office manager and the treasurers; trash removal; and cleaning services. Without these services, the Food Pantry would not be able to operate.

Non-perishable canned goods and other items are also welcome. The need in Bridgewater is still present and we want to give all residents an opportunity to help. Please bring your donations to the church during the hours, Monday through Thursday, 9 AM – 12 PM. Or you may call 508-697-6016 to make other arrangements.
