Healthy Kids Day - Stuff the Truck

The Franklin Food Pantry participated in the Healthy Kids Day at Patriot Place on Saturday, May 3

Healthy Kids Day

Coordinated by the Hockomock YMCA as part of Healthy Futures, the event had activities for kids of all ages. Displays from multiple companies and organizations shared information and more about health.

Healthy Futures Shelf - Wish List

The Healthy Futures Shelf is made possible by a grant from the MetroWest Health Foundation. It provides access to nutritious choices in partnership with Stop and Shop, the Hockomock Area YMCA and through generous donations from the community.





Why does the wish list have non-food items?
SNAP benefits restricts the purchase to food and these items you still need for a healthy life.
