Eat Fresh & Healthy Families Programs
Eat Fresh
Everybody who visits the pantry receives a bag filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, even during the winter months. When local produce is in season, farms including Framingham Community Farm, Gleaners, Powisset Farm, and Stearns Farm donate some of their harvest.
We are committed to offering fresh, healthy produce that also fits the cultural traditions of families who use the pantry. We do all we can to stock what is most requested.
Healthy Families
School-aged children need nutritious food to learn, play and grow. The positive impact on youth when they have enough food and the right foods lasts a lifetime. They do better in school and are happier and healthier. This is what we all want for our kids.
A Place To Turn offers families extra food, so children are fueled for success. Additional milk, cheese, yogurt, breakfast items, snacks, fruit, and in the summer months, lunch items, are part of the groceries that every family with school-aged children receive.
