Our Food Pantry is Temporarily Closed

The coronavirus (COVID-19) poses a significant health threat to our pantry community’s most vulnerable populations — low-income individuals and senior citizens.

Because of this the Saint Anthony Food Pantry is taking the significant step of temporarily halting our operations to help minimize risks to the health and safety of that community.

We remain fully committed to helping our New Bedford neighbors receive the nutritious food they need to thrive.

Our pantry leadership team is monitoring guidance and developments pertaining to COVID-19 with the goal of returning to food distribution when it is safe for our volunteers and pantry patrons to do so.
