AUNT DOT'S KITCHEN
Wellspring Multi-Service Centers has many options to assist community members seeking food security assistance.
At Aunt Dot’s Kitchen, open to residents of Hull, we supply fresh and non-perishable food, as well as basic personal care items to those experiencing food insecurity through our volunteer guided, self-select, client-choice pantry.
Our Mobile Kitchen brings our pantry directly to those who need it regardless of geographic location.
Generous donations from individuals and area houses of worship, civic groups, schools and area businesses greatly contribute to Wellspring’s steadfast efforts to satisfy the ever-growing demand for this service. Thanks to these partnerships and donations, Aunt Dot’s Kitchen is able to provide more than 120,000 meals each year to neighbors in need.”

Fresh and Organic Produce
We offer fresh and organic produce through food rescue partnerships with local grocery stores and Holly Hill Farm in Cohasset. We grow our own fresh produce right on-site in Judy’s Garden with help from the experts at Holly Hill Farm. The bounty from Judy’s Garden along with donations from local community growers go straight from the earth to the pantry and on to those in need.
Summer Lunch Program
Wellspring steps in when the school system takes its summer break by providing free lunches for Hull school children that qualify for help. Freshly prepared meals are available 5 days per week during summer vacation.
Holiday Meals
During the winter holidays, Aunt Dot’s Kitchen provides meals kits for food pantry families and individuals to prepare in their own homes. Thanks in part to generous donations and collaborations with area restaurants and places of worship.
Reducing Food Waste
Because one-third of our planets’ food goes to waste, Wellspring started a food rescue initiative a few years ago. With our refrigerated van we are able to pick up and distribute frozen meat and fresh produce. Unusable fruits and vegetables go to Holly Hill Farm for composting.
