Too many of our neighbors don’t know where their next meal is coming from, and many more are unable to access healthy, nutritious food due to affordability or accessibility. We’re committed to helping all kids and families thrive by making access to healthy food a priority through investment in the Monadnock Food Pantries Collective.
The Monadnock Food Pantries Collective was formed in 2019 to provide equitable access to a variety of quality food items, fresh produce, and easy access to information about support services to clients across the Monadnock Region. The Collective began with seven partners and expanded to eight in 2023.
The Collective includes the following pantries:
The Community Kitchen (Keene)
Joan’s Pantry (Chesterfield)
The Federated Church Food Pantry (Marlborough)
Helping Hands of Troy
Jaffrey Food Pantry
Kidz Cupboard (Marlborough)
Rindge Food Pantry
St Vincent de Paul Society
In 2023 the Collective:
Served 23 towns and 2,854 people in 2023
2,000 clients received information regarding other available resources for individuals and families
The Collective continues to develop a robust food-sharing system
