Beginning in April, the Sacred Heart Food Pantry has cooperated with the Middleboro Veterans Services Department to furnish food boxes for local veterans. The Greater Boston Food Bank provides the meal boxes.
The food pantry will be operating a drive-through distribution service once a month. It is held on the third Tuesday of the month from 11:00 am to noon. It will continue at least until the fall.
All veterans and their families from Middleboro, Lakeville, Rochester, and Carver are eligible to use this service. Veterans do not need to pre-register. Just drive in and pick up a box.
The Sacred Heart Food Pantry is located at 53 Oak Street in Middleboro. Go into the municipal parking lot behind the food pantry from the Pearl Street entrance.

She stopped at a table staffed by members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. In the course of their conversation, she found out about the Sacred Heart Food Pantry, which is operated by the Society.
