SPECIAL "last minute" request Lazarus House (St. Martha's) Food Pantry 12/9/25

Lazarus House Food Pantry (aka St. Martha’s Food Pantry) supplies healthy groceries to over 1900 families each week. The Pantry offers a dignified shopping experience, allowing choices and greater independence and planning.

YESTERDAY, The Lazarus Food Pantry's truck had a radiator leak, and had to be repaired.  It was unable to make its usual weekly pickup in Boston.
It's now FIXED, will be picked up soon, and then head to the Greater Boston Food Bank to get 9,000 lb of non-perishable foods for the Merrimack Valley...and will be back and ready to unlead TODAY starting around 11:00 am, and wrapping up by 1:00 pm.  Ideally we have at least a couple of Andover Rotary volunteers able to help!  They're slightly short staffed there right now.  The food pantry is staged and prepared upstairs for tomorrow's guests coming to get food fortunately, BUT this "new" food need to get unloaded/sorted (and must be unloaded before the cans freeze), and prepared for next week's distribution for its guests.

Typically on Mondays, Volunteers help unload food delivery truck, and may help stock shelves too.

2nd Monday of each month...with 4 volunteers from The Rotary Club of Andover
