Food Pantry at FSC

The food pantry is a major component of the Falmouth Service Center. ANY household in need from any zip code may become a client of the Falmouth Service Center and use the pantry weekly.

Once you are a registered household, you may choose from our selection of perishable and non-perishable items. Fresh produce, meat, dairy, household items and pet food are always available. If you or someone you know needs food assistance, we can help.

Every Monday, we publish our “grocery list” by noon. The “grocery list” shows all of the food that is available to our client households each week. Print out the list, select what you need and bring the list during our food distribution hours. Click the button below for this week’s list.

PLEASE NOTE: ALL orders MUST be placed 10 minutes before closing time.

Orders on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday must be placed by 11:50 a.m.
Orders on Wednesday must be placed by 5:20 pm.
We cannot accept any orders after that time.

Important News (December 2024):

We began an expansion project in October. A portion of our building is now under construction. We will still be open for food distribution each week. But please note the following:

Please drive slowly at all times. We have a number of construction vehicles onsite.
Parking may be limited when you arrive for food distribution and there may be a wait to park.
It may take us longer to process your food order, particularly if you come during the first half hour we are open.
On Tuesday, Dec. 2nd, you should aim to arrive after 10:30 or come a different day this week. We will have many trucks onsite beginning at 9:30 a.m.
Please be patient with our staff and volunteers as we are working very hard to fill everyone’s food order in a timely manner. Thank you for your understanding.

The weekly grocery list will be posted on Mondays by 12pm, unless otherwise noted.

Picking up food for your household has never been easier! If your household needs food, you can become a client household and come to our weekly distribution.

On your first visit, you will provide your name, date of birth, zip code and number of people in your family when you come to pick up food. You will be asked to register your household and become a client.

In order to register your household, we will need one of the following documents for EACH ADULT member of the household in order to verify your current address .

Your lease OR
A current bill or other piece of mail (All mail must be dated within the last 30 days)

For a child to be added to the account, we need to see ONE of the following for each child: MassHealth card, birth certificate, passport, letter from child's school or custody papers.
