Coronavirus (COVID – 19) Update from Hudson Community Food Pantry
During this period of time, the Hudson Community Food Pantry has implemented a few temporary changes. These changes are made under the guidance received from Greater Boston Food Bank as a means to best protect our clients and volunteers. We appreciate our clients’ continued patience and cooperation as we all adjust to these temporary changes:
- We will remain open on Saturdays; we will be closed on Tuesdays.
- Volunteers will prepack bags of non-perishable food items for our clients. Eggs and cheese will be provided.
- Meat, bread and pastry will be made available in limited quantities.
- We ask clients to remain at their cars until it is their turn to enter the pantry. Clients will enter the pantry one at a time.
- As always, photo id and proof of residency in Hudson, Berlin or Bolton is required.
Updates will be posted on line or on Facebook:

How fortunate we are to have Highland City Striders here in Hudson! They raised $10,000 for the Hudson Community Food Pantry during the Running with the Wolves 10k & White Fang 5k road races. Today we welcomed Sarah Day, Race Director, and other members of HCS who presented John, Jack, Natalie and Brendan with the donation. A new roof is on our renovation “to do” list and their donation will certainly make that a possibility. Then when they all go running by they can look and say – that’s our roof! 
Thank you to all who made this possible!
