Making a contribution to the Wakefield Food Pantry is a meaningful way to honor a wonderful person, give the gift of giving during the holidays or any time of year, celebrate a special occasion, or memorialize a deceased loved one.

Double the Impact of your gift!

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match contributions made to the Wakefield Food Pantry by their employees. If you or your spouse’s company has a matching gift program, please request a matching gift form from the company or submit the online form.
