EPH Food Pantry Fundraiser 2025 - Elizabeth Peabody House

The individuals and families who rely on the Elizabeth Peabody House (EPH) food pantry need your help.

The delay in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, which took effect on November 1, 2025, will leave many without reliable access to quality food. Good nutrition is essential for health, wellness, and quality of life. More than 1.1 million people across Massachusetts rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Access Program (SNAP) to afford food.

EPH food pantry guests take home fresh produce, dairy products, and meats, as well as shelf-stable pantry staples. This past week, EPH served 425 families, an almost 20% increase from recent weeks.

Example of an unpacked EPH food pantry grocery bag with a pack of chicken drumsticks, a loaf of bread, almond milk, a green pepper, tomatoes, apples, pears, rice, beans, nuts, peanut butter, and eggs. — EPH food pantry guests receive a variety of fresh produce, meat, dairy, eggs and pantry staples each week.

Here in Massachusetts, we are doing everything we can to support our families through this challenging time. One of the reasons I love this state is that the people of Massachusetts always step up to help neighbors in need. I encourage anyone with the means to do so to support our incredible philanthropic organizations.
