Donate Food

 

Household Donations

We accept donations of non-perishable items at the Peterborough Food Pantry during hours of operation.  In addition to canned goods, dry goods, and fruits and vegetables, personal hygiene items are always greatly appreciated as they are typically expensive and cannot be purchased by our customers using SNAP. Kindly date check any dry and canned goods to be sure they are not past their expiration date!  Our pantry is located in the Peterborough community Center at  25 Elm Street Peterborough, NH across from Valley Tire and Auto and the Bowling Alley. 

Shop at Shaw’s for the Pantry

Did you know there is a barrel at Shaw’s for Food Pantry Food Donations?  Adding a few items to your cart as you shop to deposit in the barrel on your way out is an easy way to help and a great way to make the most of store promotions!  Watch for our Food Pantry table out front, too, when we host our own food drives twice a year. 

Watch for Other Food Drives

Local groups like the Boy Scouts and US Postal workers sponsor food drives throughout the year and will pick up donations left out for them.  Watch for notices! 

Food Rescue for Retailers and Restaurants

Save good food from being wasted!  We can arrange to pick up dry, refrigerated, and frozen products, saving your business transportation and staff costs. For more information on making a food industry donation, please call 603.924.3008
