Donate Bags

Shoppers at Rose's Bounty are always looking for bags to help them carry their groceries home.  Paper bags are the preferred bags, but extra recycled bags (such as those from Whole Foods) are also appreciated.

Get the Word Out

Low on cash or time? No worries! Tell your friends, neighbors, or local businesses about 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 and supermarket donations, 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.  Watch for Rose’s Bounty donation boxes at banks, the post office, or convenience stores. Or 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:
​
  • Mt. Washington Bank 1985 Centre Street, West Roxbury
  • The Cooperative Bank  36 Spring Street, West Roxbury
  • Sophia Snow Place  1205 Centre Street, West Roxbury
  • Front porch of 61 Stratford Street, West Roxbury
