NAHANT — The Anchor Food Pantry in Swampscott is providing food for Nahant families in need during the COVID-19 global pandemic.
Nahant Town Administrator Tony Barletta announced Tuesday that residents facing food insecurity will be provided with a bag of food containing staple items, including coffee, crackers, peanut butter, and cookies.
Bags can be picked up at Swampscott High School, located at 200 Essex St., on Mondays and Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Residents will need to produce a valid I.D. with a Nahant address to receive the bag and will be asked to fill out a brief intake form during their first visit.
The Anchor Food Pantry was recently established to help families in need of food during the current health crisis. More information on the group is available on the organization’s Facebook page, and those interested in donating to the food pantry can do so using the Anchor Food Pantry Paypal.
Lunches are available for all Nahant students as well. More information can be found at nahantcovid19.com.
