A food relief agency for residents of Brookline, Needham, Newton, Waltham, Watertown and Wellesley.
We provide our communities consistent and inclusive access to healthy food, with dignity and kindness.
Our organization is a reliable source of fresh food, groceries and personal care items for thousands of people.
The extraordinary growth in need has pushed us to become a large year-round outdoor operation, yet we have retained the feeling of a small, vibrant volunteer community that works together to be sure that no one is worrying about food or foregoing food for other expenses.
Everyone should have enough food.
Our Ride For Food Team Exceeded our Fundraising Goal!
Our 40-member strong 2025 Centre Street team was the largest at this year’s Three Squares New England Ride for Food on October 5 and included volunteers, board members and staff along with their neighbors, friends and family. Last year our team raised $50,000, so we set the same goal for this year. When some of our team heard we had raised even more, they jumped for joy! We thank our team members and every single person who supported them
You can still support a Centre Street team member with a financial donation so that they can exceed their personal fundraising goal. All the funds raised will go to Centre Street so that we can continue bringing fresh, healthy food to those who rely upon us every week.
A Wicked Good Concert for a Wicked Good Cause!
Get into the Halloween spirit by joining this year’s Music for Food concert to benefit our pantry! Music for Food is a national initiative that encourages musicians to help end hunger in their communities. The concert features the amazing Labyrinth Choir, a group of 22 professional vocalists who will perform songs from Wicked, Ghostbusters, The Addams Family, and more! The concert is free, with a suggested donation of $40. Costumes are welcome (but definitely not required), and following the concert everyone is invited to enjoy a cozy soup supper.
