Food Pantry opens new location

Harvest on Vine Emergency Food Pantry is one of Charlestown's best resources for those in need. Every month, the facility supplies food to hundreds of client families in the community. Recently, the pantry relocated from the former St. Catherine of Siena school hall to the adjacent Annex as the new property owners commenced renovation.

Suffolk Company has modified the Annex for food pantry operation with a new handicap ramp, and eventually double doors, at the entrance.

The vacant Annex was last occupied by the MissionSAFE youth program. The Annex was also used by the parish Social Ministry before Tom MacDonald and staff moved to office space at the Rectory.

The Annex will be up and running for its regular distribution to clients this Saturday.
