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.

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. pictured from L to R: Rob Lefave, Diane Manory, Dianna DiGregorio, President of WCF, Doreen Mulroney and Janice Higgins |
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.
