Our food pantry supports 30-35 local families through the distribution of food and basic essentials. This program was established in 1987 as a parting gift from Cora Mayo.
We provide canned and dried goods, paper items and more. We supply milk, cheese, eggs, and margarine. In the freezer we try to have chicken or meat, frozen pizzas, frozen veggies and more. Each month we receive a delivery from Greater Boston Food Bank, which provides fresh vegetables and fruits.
All Orleans residents can use Cora's Cupboard. No appointment is needed. A volunteer will quickly register you and give you a grocery list while you remain in your car. Your order will be filled and placed in your car. We encourage everyone to use the pantry to help save their money to pay other bills.
Food Pantry is open on each Tuesday from 10am-12pm. We recently started offering a Thursday evening time, from 4-6pm, for clients to use our food pantry. Beginning in December, we will be open the second and fourth Thursday of each month. Please let your neighbors know of these hours, as we hope working families will be able to benefit from having this later time to use the pantry
