Thanks to our supporters and a match from Shea Real Estate we ended 2023 on an amazing note, reaching our goal to raise an additional $30,000!

Thank you to everyone who helped us reach this goal and we look forward to your continued support in 2024!

Home Delivery Update

We enter 2024 with some exciting news!

The Salem Pantry has stepped in following the closure of North Shore Moving Market, a Salem based organization that provided free grocery delivery, and officially taken over their home delivery program, ensuring continuity and improving the quality and frequency of groceries for homebound residents.

In 2023, we made over 3,000 home deliveries, and in 2024, we're projected to make an additional 1,900 deliveries for former North Shore Moving Market participants.

Donor contributions will now go even further, eliminating redundant costs and making food access in Salem even more efficient.

For more details, check out a recent article about the update to our home delivery program.

The Benefits of Moving To Choice

We recently shared how through The Market and The Truck, The Salem Pantry has created a new era of empowerment through a "full client choice" model.

A recent nationwide study on pantries who have also adopted this approach reported numerous positive benefits.

Learn more about full client choice and these positive changes through our blog post and an article highlighting the results of the study.

Winter Weather Update

During winter weather there may be adjustments to our Pop Ups and The Market schedule. If any changes are anticipated, guests and volunteers will receive a notification via text or email with a 24-hour notice.
