2012 UPDATE<\/span><\/h2>\n

Pierce\u2019s Pantry has had an exciting first year with the addition of six new partner pantries across Massachusetts. We are now able to offer gluten free emergency food assistance through distribution pantries in Acton, Ashland, Abington, Norwood, Wayland, Wellesley and Worcester. We have welcomed a number of amazing new sponsors and have purchased a second freezer to store the increased donations of frozen food products.<\/p>\n

One of our goals for 2012 is to set up donation sites in area health food stores across the state. Please help us to collect food in your neighborhood by asking the manager of the store where you purchase your gluten free food if they would place a Pierce\u2019s Pantry donation box in their store. We are happy to arrange for timely pick ups. If you would like more information or would like to help offer gluten\u2013free food to those in need, please contact us at:<\/p>\n

Dear Pierce’s Pantry,\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

We saw you featured in ‘Living Without’ magazine (November 2011) and wanted to help. We are making a donation in honor of my sister\u2019s family for Christmas. Thank you for starting a pantry. What a wonderful service! We have (3) gluten-intolerant celiac\u2019s in our family. <\/em><\/span>
\nGod Bless You, <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
