Our Roots
Serving Dorchester, MA families with the support of St. Eulalia Parish in Winchester, MA from day one. For more than four decades, St. Matthew Food Pantry has been a source of food and fellowship here — entirely volunteer-run, and glad to lend a hand to smaller pantries nearby, so more neighbors get fed.
Open Every Friday, Rain or Shine
No appointment, no paperwork, no need to come inside — just stop by. We distribute fresh groceries every Friday morning, right outside Wesley Child Care Center in Dorchester, MA.
Fridays · 9:00–11:00 AM
Walk-Ups Welcome: All distribution happens outdoors — come as you are.
Groceries our neighbors actually need
We work hard to stock the foods that are hardest to come by — including fresh dairy, eggs, and culturally specific staples.
Christmas in July
Every summer, our friends at St. Eulalia Parish in Winchester, MA run "Christmas in July" — a major food and fundraising drive that helps stock our shelves through the rest of the year. Local students pitch in as volunteers, collecting food bags, gift cards, and donations that make a real difference for Dorchester, MA families.
