A Place to Turn- a food pantry that serves 20 towns in the greater MetroWest area, including Framingham- is welcoming clients back into it's newly renovated space. In addition to fresh foods like poultry and produce, they offer an array of personal care products, such as diapers.
A Place to Turn Executive Director Joanne Barry and her team raised over half a million dollars for their capital campaign, which made the renovation and expansion possible. She says it was necessary to accommodate a growing need within the community.
A Place to Turn provides its clients with a weeks worth of food, once a month. All you need is to provide proof of address in the MetroWest area. They are open Monday and Wednesday from 4:30PM to 6:30PM, and Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30am to 12:30pm. They also shared with us that they have coordinators on staff who speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
The mission of Access Framingham is to engage, serve, and enrich the community by developing programming by and for the people of Framingham, providing educational opportunities, and facilitating the exchange of ideas and information through traditional and new media.
