The Medfield Democratic Town Committee is hosting a drive for Medfield Food Cupboard and Dignity Matters

On Monday, January 20th, the Medfield Democratic Town Committee is hosting a drive to collect items for the Medfield Food Cupboard and Dignity Matters.

The Medfield Food Cupboard helps any Medfield resident in need of food support, whether a one-time emergency need or for longer stretches. They currently serve approximately 85 households, comprising over 200 individuals.

Dignity Matters is a Massachusetts-based non-profit organization dedicated to addressing period poverty by providing free menstrual products, bras, and underwear to women, girls, and transgender men who are homeless or disadvantaged. Their mission is to help individuals stay healthy, regain self-confidence, and live with basic dignity.
