Feeding The Hungry

 Coronavirus (COVID-19) Precautions: 

In compliance with CDC and DPH suggested guidance both the Pearl Street Café at Park In Framingham and WHEAT Community Café in Clinton will be providing hot meals to go only.
Effective Monday evening March 16th at 5:00 pm until further notice.

Our 3 food pantries in Framingham, Clinton and Marlborough will remain open as per their usual schedule.

United Way of Tri-County’s commitment to feeding the hungry in our region is steadfast and can be depended on during this time of uncertainty. If you have any questions you can contact me directly at paul.mina@uwotc.org or 508-561-5811

 

Hunger effects every community.

 
In The United States, 1 in 7 individuals suffers from hunger. There are thousands of families struggling to keep food on their tables every day right here in our own back yard.  It is our mission to provide hunger relief, improve the quality of life, and connect families and neighbors in need to essential services in our community.  Our goal is to reduce levels of food insecurity, while strengthening the connections between people and available resources.

With food pantry locations in Clinton, Framingham and Marlborough, the United Way of Tri-County’s Food Security Initiative provides those in need with regular access to nutritious foods and connects them with resources to reach their goal of self-sufficiency.

For a complete listing of Framingham area food pantries and hot meal programs

How to Run a Successful Food Drive

 Get Organized 

  • We'll work with you to determine our most-needed items.

  • Make it easy to give. Decide on a drop-off location. We will provide the materials to promote your drive (flyers, boxes, brochures).

 Communicate Clearly 

  • Educate everyone about the issue you are addressing, and its impact in your community.

  • Set a goal. Make sure it is challenging but achievable.

  • Run a themed drive. We have lots of ideas for themes and catchy slogans.

  • Thank your donors. We can provide you with final results and information you can share.

 Provide Incentives 

  • Organize contests. Try to arrange friendly competition and offer prizes to the team that brings in the most donations.

 Schedule a Delivery or Pick-Up Date 

  • Coordinate with the United Way staff to schedule a time for pick-up or delivery of your donated foods. We can pick them up at your organization, or you can deliver them straight to one of our Food Pantry locations in Framingham, Marlborough or Clinton
