"People Helping People"

In 1945 a group of Wilmington, MA citizens organized a volunteer, non-profit organization to help residents in need who live in the community.

Our motto, "People Helping People" is a simple way of stating what the Wilmington Community Fund, Inc. (WCF) stands for. It is through the generosity of individuals, businesses, organizations, schools and numerous clubs that WCF continues to be able to assist many residents in Wilmington, MA who have fallen victim to tough times.

We're Here to Help

​​If you’re a Wilmington, MA resident and are in need of assistance due to food insecurity or are faced with a life-changing situation or financial economic factors, please reach out to us. The WCF offers a Food Pantry and Emergency Relief Assistance. We welcome email inquiries, which will have a faster response time. You will be contacted so an interview for assistance can be conducted. Email us at [email protected]

Food Pantry

The Food Pantry is set-up as a “drive-up" so that food is custom packed while Wilmington residents wait in their car.  Individuals are given a list of food items in which to choose their food preferences. This list will then guide the volunteers to custom pack the food that is available at that time, while accommodating family size allocations. Recipients picking up food do not need to get out of their vehicle and a volunteer will place your packaged bags of food in your vehicle. We ask that families please arrive with space in their trunk for us to load up the food. 
​

We are open on the 2nd and the 4th Wednesday of each month from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM.  See how to Register for Food Assistance.

Food Pantry Donations

Consider making monetary donations to support the Food Pantry.  These donations allow us to purchase bulk items as the need arises. Checks can be made payable to the Wilmington Community Fund and mailed to PO Box 147, Wilmington, MA 01887. In the memo line note Food Pantry.
​
As always food items can be dropped in our bins at Market Basket and McKinnon's Supermarket, or at the Food Pantry on Saturday between 10 AM - 12 PM.  See our list of non-perishable items we are most in need of.
​THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!

Elks National Foundation Grant
On December 7, the WCF received a $3,000 grant from the Elks National Foundation for the Wilmington Food Pantry.
​Special thanks to Diane Manory for submitting the grant application. The members of the Tewksbury-Wilmington Lodge of Elks also volunteered at the pantry, by helping to stock the shelves from the food donations we receive. Great work and  appreciated the help.

Thank You from the WCF
On behalf of the Food Pantry and the Wilmington residents we help, we would like to thank you--the Community--for your generous monetary donations and food for the pantry!
Our clients come to us for help--some long-term and some short-term. Your donations help us to continue this service to all those who are experiencing food insecurity and the need for food assistance.  Without your generosity, we would not be able to do this.  We thank you for making the pantry a recipient of your generosity.
Also, a big thank you goes out for all the food drives that are held throughout the year for the pantry. These food drives come from community groups, churches, organizations, schools and businesses. Thank you for having them; the food collected helps many of our neighbors who are unable to provide for themselves.
