Nourishing Our Community: Food Pantry Services at SBCHC

Contributing to your overall good health in a delicious way.

What began as a food drive by our employees in 2008 has blossomed into a full fledged food pantry. The SBCHC Food Pantry provides assistance to SBCHC patients in a comfortable, respectful atmosphere. Whether you are in need of long term assistance, or would just like to make an occasional visit, you are welcome here.

ELIGIBILITY

You must be an active SBCHC patient (have been seen in the past year)
Enrollment is done yearly
Only one member per household is eligible

LOCATION

The Pantry is located on the first floor of our main building at 409 West Broadway in the Medical Specialties department.

SUPPORT

The food pantry is funded with grants and donations from private corporations and through the City of Boston. The majority of our food is received through the Greater Boston Food Bank.

We are also very fortunate to be supported by our friends and neighbors.

Pediatrics

Parent of Pediatrics Patient 2024

“We are an elderly couple who have been patients at the SBCHC clinic for many years. Dr. Saxena stands out for correctness and creating a warm and very communicative doctor-patient environment. The doctor listens very attentively and calmly to everything you tell him. Simplicity in communication, diagnosis, and continuous patient condition monitoring make this doctor stand out from the rest.”

“I feel that it is a well-oiled machine, with Dr. Brout at South Boston. I just can't say enough good things! They know why I am there without a computer, since everybody knows what is going on with me, all staff. Everybody is on the same page, for a level of healthcare I had never experienced.”

“The staff in the lab, Verinta or "V," is amazing. My son was literally giddy with delight at her joking and playfulness. He was actually so happy with her, he didn't react to the blood draw, but then cried outside a tiny bit with a delayed reaction like "hey, wait, that hurt." She is an absolutely phenomenal addition to the phlebotomy team! Overall, a great experience.”

“Dr. Kane always asks me if I understand everything and whether or not I need further clarification... I really appreciate him explaining everything so in depth.”

“There’s an emphasis on education here. Dr. Chiakpo and Marianna (a nurse in training) provided a lot of background concerning my issue and even brought in diagrams, which I greatly appreciated, since I’m a visual learner. They both gave me space to ask questions on everything. I really appreciated the time they spent with me.”
