We are an all volunteer community based organization working to end hunger and food insecurity in 13 towns throughout the Monadnock Region since 1996. Over 90% of all donations are dedicated to fulfilling our goal of directly assisting those in need. The Peterborough Food Pantry is a program under the umbrella of the Peterborough Area Community Aid, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization. Your donations and contributions are tax deductible as allowed by law.

Tackling Hunger

1 in 7 households struggle with food insecurity in NH. Seniors and disabled veterans on inadequate fixed incomes are just scraping by, children are going without breakfast, unable to concentrate in school, and laid-off working men and women are struggling to put enough food on the table for their families.

That’s where we come in.
