Donate to the DISH

We need your support! The DISH Food Pantry continues to see an increase in usage and need. Any donations are incredibly helpful and appreciated. The majority of our inventory comes from Food for Free, via The Greater Boston Food Bank, which means that our donation needs are very specific.

Please visit our Amazon Wish List or see below for our most-needed items. Mail-in items and in-person drop-offs are also welcome. Direct mail-in donations to DISH Food Pantry, 250 New Rutherford Avenue, Boston, MA, 02129. For an in-person drop off, please contact DISH at dish@bhcc.edu

You may also donate monetarily to the BHCC Foundation. Please select “DISH Food Pantry” under “Gift Designation.”
