We are a volunteer-run food pantry serving the Merrimack Valley, dedicated to supporting individuals facing food insecurity. Founded in 1992 by Cari Marchese at North Parish in North Andover, MA, The Peoples Food Pantry now operates as a nonprofit organization. The North Parish continues to generously provide pantry space for our food storage and room for food distribution to clients.
As a proud member of the Greater Boston Food Bank and the Merrimack Valley Food Bank we utilize the Food Hub in Salisbury, MA, for additional food storage and delivery. Our pantry is stocked with essential items through the Massachusetts Emergency Food Assistance Program (MEFAP) and USDA food supplies. Additionally, we receive generous donations of fresh produce and other items from the Village Food Hub, the Giving Garden, and the Boston Area Gleaners, as well as local retailers, bakeries, and farmers,
