Dozens of people line up outside the Pine Street door of First Baptist Church across from the YMCA every Tuesday afternoon to receive produce from the Greater Boston Food Bank at the Fall River Food Pantry. On many occasions, the fresh produce that is offered is not all taken, often leaving boxes of food for which there is no refrigerated storage. On those occasions, the hundred or so people who eat at the weekly Branch Community Supper on Tuesday evenings are invited to help themselves to the left over produce. On August 31, 2016  were on hand to get the boxes ready for people to choose. Produce that day included lots of salad greens, green onions, cole slaw, and asparagus as well as an assortment of apples, peaches, plums, bananas, melons limes, and oranges.
