Help Yourself Pantry

Created by both residents and P.U.L.S.E Inc. over 3 years ago, the pantry opened its doors just months prior to the pandemic. A safe and friendly, non-judgmental environment where South End residents in need could received food items and connect with other programs and services in the building and surrounding community.

When the province first went into lockdown, neighbourhood organizations came together forming the Greater Saint John Emergency Food Program which delivered food hampers to those in need through out the city. In the Summer of 2020, we transition back into the Pulse Pantry providing pantry bags twice per month to those in need in the South End. In 2021 we served over 156 families and providing over 1500 meals to families.

In May as the pandemic ends, we are excited to transition to a Help Yourself Community Pantry which will allow residents to choose what items they need. Residents will be able to access the Help Yourself Pantry during our open hours Monday to Friday. If you would like to donate to this wonderful initiative call or email us at 632-6807 or info@pulsesj.ca.
