Each week, a group of Guild School students and vocational services staff volunteer at the Watertown Food Pantry. Volunteers sort items into bins, bag vegetables, stock the shelves with food items, and check expiration dates. Students work on travel training skills to get to and from the pantry.
The Guild for Human Services serves more than 160 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities annually through educational, residential, and clinical programming.
The Guild promotes the development of academic, social, vocational, and independent living skills through a private, 365-day, special education school serving 90 students, including nine group homes for 72 youth, with two homes in Watertown.
“We are grateful to the Watertown Food Pantry for hosting us each week and providing opportunities for students to serve the community and grow their independence,” said Amy C. Sousa, The Guild’s CEO.
The Watertown Food Pantry provides food assistance to any Watertown resident in need. It is a volunteer-based organization that relies on donations from community members.
Thank you for coming each week! You have all
