FOOD PANTRY

Annual Turkey Drive

The EPH annual turkey drive is on, and we’re asking for your help. In the past, our food pantry would distribute 250-350 whole frozen turkeys and assorted sides, grains, and vegetables to those in need of a holiday meal. With increased distribution days in 2024 and a growing need in the community, we are now looking at giving away 450 meals in November.
EPH needs our community’s help to raise $10,000 this Thanksgiving season. This will cover the purchases of whole turkeys and fresh produce for 200 people! You can make a donation through our website or the link in our bio here.
Please email Food Access Program Manager Tom Boucher at tboucher@teph.org if you plan on donating physical turkeys.

Make a Donation

The Elizabeth Peabody House exists to serve our community in Somerville and surrounding towns. Every single donation goes directly to our programs and operating costs, including purchases of PPE to keep our teachers and students safe, and partitions to divide up our classroom space. We are extremely grateful for the aid we receive from our community partners, neighbors, families, and supporters as we continue to do our work.
