Need food? / Necesita comida?

Free food (including fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen meat, and non-perishables like breakfast cereal, shelf-stable milk, rice, and more) is available at CEOC’s food pantry.​ Our food pantry is open to Cambridge residents only.

 

​​First time visiting our food pantry? Our food pantry manager will check you into our database by asking you a few questions (including your name, contact information, address, and more). To confirm you are a Cambridge resident, you must bring a dated piece of mail (like a utility bill, DTA letter, or phone bill), a current lease, or a letter from a doctor or social worker. The document must be recent, within the last 3 months. You can also use an ID or drivers license to confirm your address, but it is not required. Please bring this the next time you visit the food pantry. You only have to bring your document one time, and then it will be recorded in the system. 

 

You can visit our food pantry as often as you need, each time we will check you in with just your name.
