Food Pantry
  Non-Perishable Food Supplies The food pantry, serving Penacook residents only, is open Tuesdays from 9:30 to 11:30 AM year round (except Christmas and New Years Day)

If Penacook Elementary/MVSD is closed due to weather, the pantry will also be closed.


Visitors coming to the pantry are allowed two bags of groceries and one bag of personal care items every two weeks unless extra food is available or an emergency situation comes up.
Personal Care Items

In order to keep the food pantry going we are asking that non-perishable food and personal hygiene items be donated. All items must be in original packaging. Please check expiration dates on all donated items. Outdated items cannot be accepted.All items donated are appreciated and can be left in the food pantry in Fellowship Hall.

If you are uncertain what is in short supply, contact the pantry director.

This pantry is an equal opportunity provider.

Can Tabs
 
Before recycling food and beverage cans, break off the pull tabs and save them for this mission. These tabs are donated to David's House, a home-away-from-home for families who have children (newborn up through the time they are released from their parent's insurance) who are receiving care at the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH.. The funds received for the pull tabs are then used to help buy supplies, helping to keep this children's health mission going! These tabs can be deposited year round at the Missions collection area in the Narthex.

Eyeglasses
  Your old eyeglasses will make their way to someone with your prescription who is in need of glasses to make their life just a little bit better and who cannot afford the glasses they need. Eyeglasses can be deposited year round at the Missions collection area in the Narthex.
