Peterborough Food Pantry
The Peterborough Food Pantry serves 13 towns across the Monadnock region, providing food assistance and emergency aid to neighbors in need. Each week, Peterborough Food Pantry distributes thousands of pounds of groceries to help area residents stretch their budgets and keep their families fed.
Our community’s need continues to grow, as the following numbers demonstrate: Their customer visits are up 25% from this time last year. Children 18 and under make up 30–35% of those Peterborough Food Pantry serves consistently. In October alone, they had 384 customer visits and welcomed 32 new households, a record number, far above their usual 6–12 new families per month.
More than 90% of proceeds go directly toward providing food, personal care items, and cleaning supplies for their customers.
Donations for this month’s special collection may be designated “Peterborough Food Pantry” in the memo line of checks and placed in the offering baskets on Sundays or made anytime through the PUUC website.
