A Place To Turn is a food pantry committed to providing our MetroWest, Massachusetts neighbors with emergency food and clothing in an atmosphere of caring and mutual respect. Our clients have varying profiles and needs; each year the pantry serves approximately 2600 households, 8000 individuals, and children comprise 45% of those served. We operate as part of the community services network, working through a referral system. We are a “choice” food pantry, thereby ensuring that clients receive food that they and their families need, enjoy, and will use. In addition to non-perishables, all clients are offered refrigerated and frozen meat, dairy and produce, as well as fresh produce ("Eat Fresh" initiative).
