From The Development Officer

Happy November!

It's that time of the year when our community comes together, and we can't help but feel the warmth of generosity.

From now until the end of the year, we're thrilled to kick off our Empowering Our Neighbors campaign. It's a chance for you to make a direct impact on food insecurity in Salem and on the North Shore through your thoughtful donations.

Regardless of size, every contribution is appreciated. Your generosity becomes even more impactful during this time, allowing us to provide fresh, healthy food during the holiday season.

Thank you everyone who has joined us in nourishing our community this year and to all who plan to over the next couple of months.

Hannah Beth Hembree

Development Officer 

P.S. Mark your calendar! Giving Tuesday is on November 28th this year.

The Truck Is Here!

The Truck officially made its journey from Canada to Salem on November 2nd.

The mobile pantry vehicle is designed to resemble a stall at a local farmer’s market, and will transform our mobile pantry program.

We are grateful to The City of Salem, Mayor Dominick Pangallo and Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll for their support and funding in making The Truck a reality!

A Turkey Filled Week

Many companies offer the opportunity to double your contributions, whether through matching your volunteer hours or monetary donations.

Volunteer Highlight - Salem State Partnership Update

Salem State Pop Up Team

This month, we would like to highlight the dedicated team of volunteers who have been operating the Salem State University Pop Up every Wednesday.

Many of them have been with us since prior to the pandemic! Thank you for support over the last many years.

The Public Pop-Up site at Salem State University is closing this month. However, we are thrilled to announce an update to our partnership with Salem State University, which will play a crucial role in addressing on-campus hunger. The Truck will now be available for students at two new locations on campus, to support on-campus and commuter students.
