Volunteer
We always need people to pack bags, distribute groceries or unload food from the Greater Boston Food bank truck. Learn more here.


Offer Your Talent
We are powered by a volunteer board of directors and committee members who work on projects for our operation, marketing, fundraising and client outreach. If you have a talent to offer and/or might be willing to volunteer on a committee, we’d like to hear from you.

Run a Kids Club Food Drive
Organize a food drive to collect food that we cannot get from the Greater Boston Food Bank. This is a great team building activity for a scout, school, or faith group or neighborhood. You can set up a table outside a supermarket or run an event to collect food. Learn more here.

Walk, Ride or Race with Us
If you're a runner, you can apply to be our runner in the B.A.A. Boston Marathon in April or anyone can join the Newton Turkey Trot in November. You can bike ride or walk in the Three Squares New England Ride for Food held each October. Learn more here.

Decorate Kids Club Bags
We’ll provide the brown bags and then you decorate them with inspiring messages and art. Imagine the smile on a child’s face when the family receives a Kids Club bag with a rainbow and a wish for a great day! This is a wonderful group activity for all ages. If you’re interested email us.

Donate Brown Paper Grocery Bags
We use hundreds of brown grocery bags each week. Double them up and recycle them for this good cause. You can drop them off at our side door on Furber Lane any Tuesday morning between 10 and Noon. If that’s not convenient, email us to find another time.

Donate
You can give on a monthly basis, support a specific fundraising campaign or anytime you want. We appreciate creative birthday fundraisers or a neighborhood bake sale! Yourcontributions allow us to purchase more food, pay for food truck deliveries, and help us serve thousands.

Join Us at Lasell to Fill Empty Bowls
Every spring, we receive support from Lasell students in the Empty Bowls fundraising initiative. Students make bowls and host a fabulous evening of food, music and speakers to raise money and awareness so that Centre Street can alleviate food insecurity.
