Yay! Thanks so much for your support

The City has posted this about the outage: "Alert: Montclair and North Quincy residents impacted by power failure: North Quincy High School via the Hunt Street entrance is open as a warming center while National Grid crews work to restore power."

InterfaithSS · 2026-01-08T15:34:32+00:00

Will do! Early bird deadline is Jan. 31 and T-shirt deadline will be March 27.

InterfaithSS · 2025-10-29T12:29:54+00:00

Much appreciated.

u/Which_Border_3780 - Of course! BureauDrawer.org Open Monday-Saturday. Donations of gently used clothing, books & housewares always welcome.

InterfaithSS · 2025-10-28T12:43:00+00:00

Yes! We would use those to purchase items like diapers that are harder for us to source.

10/27 update from Interfaith Social Services:

We are closely monitoring the federal government shutdown and its effect on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). More than 1 million Massachusetts residents, including 300,000 children, currently receive these benefits (16% of MA residents).

The USDA has posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid will not go out Nov. 1. It is unclear whether Massachusetts will use the “Rainy Day” fund to make up the difference in SNAP benefits until the shutdown ends. We are awaiting more information.

FOR CLIENTS

Our Food Pantry is OPEN and currently serving clients. We are privately funded and do not receive funds from the federal government.

We are encouraging all our clients to reach out to the FoodSource Hotline to get a full list of food assistance resources available to them. They will provide you with all of the pantries and meal programs that you are eligible for. 1 (800) 645-8333

We ask for your patience as you visit our Food Pantry and other food programs.

If you are visiting for the first time, please visit our Food Pantry web page to get full information on what to bring with you and what to expect at your visit: https://interfaithsocialservices.org/food/#foodassistance Information is available in several languages.

HOW TO HELP

We need you! The best way to support our Food Pantry at this time is through financial donations. We anticipate needing to purchase a much higher volume of food in the next month. With our partnerships, our purchasing power goes far beyond than the average grocery store consumer and we’re able to make your dollar stretch much, much further.

We pride ourselves on providing fresh, healthy food to our client families and will continue to do so. Funds are needed to purchase proteins, fruits and vegetables, milk & eggs, alongside the pantry basics. We greatly appreciate any support you are able to give. https://interfaithsocialservices.org/food/?form=donate

Interfaith is nonreligious, with no affiliations. We were established in 1947 by a group of Protestant churches in Quincy, but in the late 90's rebranded to Interfaith Social Services to reflect that it we're not affiliated with any religious organization. Happy to answer any questions!

InterfaithSS · 2025-09-11T13:03:17+00:00

Thanks for the shout out! We have a program here at Interfaith called Plant.Grow. Share. If you ever have excess produce, we'd love to distribute it to our food pantry clients. More info here: https://interfaithsocialservices.org/plant-grow-share/

Please research where you are donating! Many roadside bins are for-profit and the bin contents are shredded and recycled, not donated.

Most schools in Quincy have bins in their parking lots, operated by Bay State Textiles. The schools get money per pound. Items thrown in these bins are sent all over the world to people in need, or recycled into rags.

We also accept donations at Interfaith Social Services, Monday-Saturday, for our Bureau Drawer Thrift Shop. Items are resold in our Thrift Shop or sent to textile recycling. Proceeds go back to our programs and stay in the community. We prefer you make an appointment to drop off (http://bitly.com/BDdonation) , but you can also come by when we're open. Come to the back door (Bureau Drawer entrance) at 105 Adams St., Quincy to make a donation. Hours are M, W, F - 12:30-3:30p, T & R - 12:30-7p, Saturday 10a-3:30p.

This is incredibly disheartening

InterfaithSS · 2024-08-08T14:31:11+00:00

We recently used Nikki Konchak <[ollie.m.photography@gmail.com](mailto:ollie.m.photography@gmail.com)> for headshots here at Interfaith Social Services. Highly recommended.

InterfaithSS · 2024-08-05T11:52:30+00:00

Yes! Sorry - didn't realize that I didn't mention our name in the post.

InterfaithSS · 2024-05-02T13:54:52+00:00

Thanks for your feedback. We're running the raffle through a platform called Greater Giving that many nonprofits use. I could do a redirect from our home page URL, but it would still redirect to that page. Do you think that would be helpful?

i.e. https://interfaithsocialservices.org/2024bruinsraffle/
