Donate Bags

Shoppers at Rose's Bounty are always looking for bags to help them carry their groceries home.  Paper bags are great for the food pantry, and recyclable/reuseable bag are also appreciated for our School and Senior Programs .

Get the Word Out

Low on cash or time? No worries! Tell your friends, neighbors, or local businesses about the great work we are doing at the food pantry in West Roxbury. By getting the word out, you are making a difference.

Donate Food


It might be stating the obvious, but food pantries need food. While we get a large percentage of our food from institutions such as the Greater Boston Food Bank, there is always room for more. Consider organizing a food drive at your children’s school, with your Scout troop, at your church, or your place of business. See our Rose’s Bounty donation box at Roche Bros. if you buy a few extra items when you do your own weekly shopping.​

You can donate non-perishable goods at the church during our office hours, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10AM-2PM (ring the doorbell on the door on the left). We also have donation bins at the following locations:
​
