Ways to help

Unload and Stock Food

Assist the Food Pantry Coordinator to pick up food orders from the Greater Boston Food Bank, and unload that food at EPH. This involves heavy lifting and some physical labor. Volunteers help stock our food pantry to prepare for distribution.

Distribute Food to the Community

Help the Food Pantry Coordinator distribute food to clients. This involves some heavy lifting. Volunteers will distribute pre-made bags of pantry staples to clients along with the clients’ choice of protein and dairy products. Clients are no longer allowed inside the EPH facility to limit the number of persons in the pantry at one time.

How you helpVolunteers are essential to EPH operations — without you, the food pantry would struggle to feed our community.
About usSupporting low-income and immigrant families has been the core of EPH since its inception. We offer four subsidized programs; Preschool, After School, Camp, and a Food Pantry. We serve 40 preschoolers and 52 school-age children, with a majority (67%) of our students receiving subsidized services through the Dept. of Early Education and Care. EPH was established in 1886 as a settlement house in the West End of Boston and offered a kindergarten and community theater. In the 1950's city officials began planning for a "new Boston," which called for razing the area. Many families chose to resettle in Somerville, only three miles away. Following the lead of those it served, EPH also moved to Somerville in 1979 to continue its mission.
