The Brookline Emergency Food Pantry has an ongoing need for non-perishable food as well as personal care items. This year, especially, the need is acute. Some items in particular are in short supply and needed more than others right now. When selecting items to donate, please keep this wish list in mind, and remember portability is important. Smaller, easy to carry containers are easier for the Pantry’s clients to transport home.
