Dorchester’s food pantries are seeing more neighbors than ever needing a hand, especially as food stamp cuts and rising costs hit home. The St. Vincent DePaul and Mary Ann Brett pantries are lifelines for families, seniors, and workers who just can’t stretch their paychecks far enough. Locals are teaming up—pub owners, church groups, and the Irish Pastoral Center—to collect food, gift cards, and even diapers. It’s a real community effort, but they need more help to keep shelves stocked. Have you noticed more folks struggling lately? What’s the best way for our neighborhood to support each other right now? #Safety #Dorchester #FoodPantry
