EPH Food PantryIn 2009, EPH opened a small food pantry to provide food for our students’ families, many of whom had experienced food insecurity. In 2011, the pantry was opened up to the general public and EPH has been feeding our community ever since.  When the COVID-19 pandemic hit and EPH’s childcare programs were closed for four months spanning March to July 2020, the food pantry remained open. School Age and Preschool teachers even bagged food during the week and then delivered those bags to students and their families at home. We were able to continue feeding our families and neighbors when they needed our support the most.  We are proud to partner with the Greater Boston Food Bank, Spoonfuls, Food For Free, FoodLink, and Rescue Cuisine to make sure we are always stocked with varied nutritious food. We believe that supporting our community through direct services like free groceries is key to our mission.  If you would like to donate food to our pantry, please contact Thomas at tboucher@teph.org for more information. We appreciate every donation but have limited food storage, and Thomas needs to be aware of any donations that may be coming through our doors.
