PLEASE NOTE: At this time, we are no longer able to accept any NEW clients who live outside of Melrose. Sorry for the inconvenience. Hours of Operation: Every Friday, 10:00 - 11:30am, 3rd Friday of the Month, 5:00 - 6:00pm with a Community Dinner following. The pantry is closed on or near certain holidays. Individuals may come to the Food Pantry twice each month. A photo ID is requested on your first visit only. The Pantry is open to residents of Melrose and the surrounding communities. The Servant’s Heart Food Pantry was born out of a desire to serve and assist struggling families in the city of Melrose and the surrounding communities. In 1996 the first food was distributed from a broken down three-shelf bookcase in the basement of the church to just 5 families. Over time word spread and the number of families who frequented the food pantry grew. Ten years later there were nearly 70 families receiving food each month. What began with a few volunteers and a bookcase of food has now grown to countless hours of volunteer assistance and many more shelves of food. Today the pantry supplies food regularly to over 150 families.

Comment from Gale Cass: I would like to give a holiday donation in honor of my nephew’s family who live in Melrose. Please let me know how I can do that.
