NEWBURY — With the increasing cost of groceries, the upcoming holiday season and the uncertain future of SNAP benefits, the Newbury Police Department is partnering with First Parish Newbury Food Pantry to make the police station an official 24-hour drop-off location.

First Parish Newbury Food Pantry is the largest all-volunteer food pantry in Greater Newburyport, serving Newbury, Newburyport, Byfield, West Newbury, Salisbury, Rowley, Ipswich and Georgetown. The pantry fills orders for more than 800 people each week and stocks nine local school pantry programs.
