We Provide Food Assistance to Those in Need in Southern New Hampshire
The operations of Shepherd’s Pantry are carried out by a dedicated group of volunteers who, each week, shop for food, pick up regular donations from supermarkets and bakeries, fill the shelves and freezers and then bag the food and distribute it to our clients each Monday morning.
Struggling With Food Insecurity?
We’re here to help.
Shepherd’s Pantry operates every Monday morning as a drive through from the Windham Presbyterian Church parking lot providing food assistance to those in need in Southern New Hampshire. We want to make sure that none of our neighbors goes hungry.
Due to the increase in client volume, the Shepherd’s Pantry Board of Directors has voted that as of July 1, 2023, Shepherd’s Pantry will only accept new clients living in Windham. We will continue to serve our client base, including those not living in Windham, and any other new Windham families until such time that our weekly numbers recede.

The Turkey Trot = Neighborhood Fun Run!
The Windham Turkey Trot started in 1994 and is now the primary annual Fundraising Event to support the Windham Shepherd’s Pantry.
In 2020, Shepherd’s Pantry was given the opportunity to assume the operation of the Trot so now both the Windham Shepherd’s Pantry and the Windham Turkey Trot are under the same 501(c)(3) umbrella. This means 100% of the funds raised from The Windham Turkey Trot goes to Shepherd’s Pantry to help its clients who experience food insecurity.
Volunteer Spotlight
Mary and Arlon Sieve
The January Volunteer Spotlight posthumously celebrates two special Shepherd’s Pantry volunteers: Mary and Arlon Sieve.
When Arlon retired in 2000, he and Mary began traveling the world, visiting all seven continents. Their favorite trip was when they travelled to the Holy Land with the St. Matthew’s Church group. Through St. Matthew’s Church, both Mary and Arlon heard of Shepherd’s Pantry and became dedicated volunteers. Mary and Arlon Sieve volunteered together on Monday mornings at Shepherd’s Pantry, and they always wore big smiles on their faces as they helped others. These beautiful smiles helped other people to feel better and smile back. Their joy from participating in this ministry was conveyed by their wish for memorial donations to Shepherd’s Pantry when Mary and Arlon passed away in 2022.
“My Parents really enjoyed volunteering at Shepherd’s Pantry and talked about it often. They were very passionate about the mission of Shepherd’s Pantry. They had such big hearts and wanted to help the community.” – Jill Sieve, Mary and Arlon’s daughter.
Below is a family favorite photo of Mary and Arlon from their 50th wedding anniversary.
Thank you to Mary, Arlon and the Sieve Family, for your generosity and dedication to Shepherd’s Pantry.
