Dear Friends,

Due to roof damage and water infiltration caused by massive ice dams, the Allston Brighton Food Pantry will be closed for approximately two weeks while stabilization and remediation work is completed. This pause is necessary to ensure the safety of our guests, staff, and volunteers. While this interruption is difficult, we are grateful to be addressing these issues now and remain hopeful about reopening as soon as it is safe to do so.

During the closure, we will share weekly updates so you can stay informed about our progress.

For neighbors who need food during this time, please refer them to:

• Allston Brighton Food Chain — a coordinated network of nearby food access points
• Other food distributions across Greater Boston

Once the building is safe and dry, we will organize volunteer clean-up opportunities, and we look forward to welcoming volunteer groups back as soon as possible.

For those who wish to support the Pantry during this closure, donations are deeply appreciated and can be made via Venmo (@ABFoodPantry) or PayPal.

Thank you for your patience, generosity, and continued care for our neighbors. We are deeply grateful for this community and look forward to opening our doors again soon.
