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.

Support our 2024 Boston Marathon runner!

On April 15, Kate Butts will be running the 128th Boston Marathon to raise money for Centre Street. Kate, a Newton native, volunteered at Centre Street while at Newton South High School, but she only began running a year ago...and hasn't stopped since. We are very impressed by Kate’s running journey and her willingness to raise funds for Centre Street. Help Kate reach her fundraising goal by donating today.
