Our grocery department is huge, and offers an incredible assortment of gourmet and specialty food items as well as any commodity item one could ever hope to find. Since the summer of 1999, soon after Bread and Circus took over this location from the former Nature's Heartland, we have begun an active charitable giving program here in Bedford. Lexington Hanscom AFB Officers' Wives Club Billy C. Fund, Bedford Boston Christian Counseling Center Larger contributions have gone to the Bedford Community Table in Bedford and Lowell, Bedford School Association, Bedford Council on Aging, and the Lexington Food Pantry. We have also donated books to the Bedford and Lexington Public Libraries. Bags of non-perishable items are prepared by local special education high schoolers from the LABB Vocational Training Program.
Customers purchase the bags of food and then the charity picks up the bags.
Local pantries benefitting from the program are the Bedford Community Table, Lexington Food Pantry, and The Open Table in Concord. The Store Team Leader is Lee B. Kane . Whole Foods Market, Inc.
