A food relief agency for residents of Brookline, Needham, Newton, Waltham, Watertown and Wellesley.

We provide our communities consistent and inclusive access to healthy food, with dignity and kindness.

Our organization is a reliable source of fresh food, groceries and personal care items for thousands of people.

The extraordinary growth in need has pushed us to become a large year-round outdoor operation, yet we have retained the feeling of a small, vibrant volunteer community that works together to be sure that no one is worrying about food or foregoing food for other expenses.

Everyone should have enough food.

2024 Newton Turkey Trot

Centre Street will again be a beneficiary of the Newton Turkey Trot! This family-friendly event, featuring a USATF Certified 5K race and 1-mile kids fun run, will take place on Sunday, November 24th at Zervas Elementary School.

Now in its second decade, the Newton Turkey Trot attracts over 1,400 runners each year. Sign up today before it sells out! This is great chance to run with friends, burn some pre-Thanksgiving calories, and raise money for Centre Street. Last year’s race provided $15,000 to our pantry.
