As winter approaches, many of our neighbors in Cambridge face heartbreaking choices — heating their homes, buying a warm coat for their children, or putting food on the table.
 With reductions to SNAP benefits and the rising cost of living, more families are struggling to make ends meet.
At Margaret Fuller Neighborhood House, we are here to help. Our food pantry remains open and ready to support any household in need this season.
