On the first Sunday of the month, parishoners are encouraged to bring non-perishable food up to the altar. All food that is collected is donated to the Billerica Food Pantry. Each year St. Anne provides food for 101 families for Easter and for Christmas. Each family typically receives potatoes, carrots, canned vegatables, bread and a gift certificate for a roast or turkey from the local supermarket.
Volunteers do the shopping, and bagging of all the goods.
Volunteers also deliver the food to anyone who is unable to pick it up at the church. St. Anne's participates in the Angel Tree program of the Middlesex House of Correction. There is an Angel Tree with paper ornaments of boys and girls, each with many different ages on them. Members of St. Anne's choose an ornament, and then buy and wrap a Christmas present for some young boy or girl. The presents are picked up and distributed to prisoners, who are then able to give gifts for their children on Christmas Day.
