The Pantry is open on Monday,Tuesday,Thursday nights at 7 PM and Wednesday afternoons at 1 PM . Food is obtained from Parishoners at St.Michael's Church, and food drives from different charitable organizations. The "bulk" of food is purchased at local stores and the New Hampshire Food Bank.
We also assist in Thanksgiving and Christmas food and gift baskets.
Our Advocacy Program provides counseling and needed referrals for our clients. We also provide a small number of scholarships to eligible clients. We donate a lot of direct financial aid to those individuals that have no other resources for assistance
