We are the “Supermarket” for Food Pantries,
meals programs, shelters and residential and day
programs throughout the Merrimack Valley, and
North Shore of Massachusetts and parts of New Hampshire

Our agencies include soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters and group homes. The staff and volunteers from our agencies visit the food bank on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to select food for their clients’ specific nutritional needs. Others receive food from our Food Rescue Program.

To donate and/or get help



I remember visiting the Pettengill House in Salisbury (MA) when I was a kid,
...recalls Jack*. There were always other families there, and were able to get a warm meal and a smile from the people who volunteered there. I remember the holiday dinner baskets most of all, and looking back, I realize how they helped make it possible for us to celebrate as a family. Now that I operate a successful business, I make sure that people know how much the Pettengill House helps families like they helped mine when we were in need.”

The Pettengill House in Salisbury, MA operates a food pantry, meals program, and assists families with counseling, referrals and provides coats and other basic needs to families in need. Food Bank member since 1995.

*Not real name, but an actual former client of a Food Pantry.
