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.

About Us

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

Bruce Correia

Apr 1, 2025

After a fulfilling career as an engineer, Bruce retired and was looking for a way to fill his time while making a positive impact in his community. He found that opportunity at Shepherd’s Pantry after noticing a bulletin at St. Matthew’s Church about volunteer needs.

For about a year now, Bruce has been an invaluable part of the Shepherd’s Pantry team. His first role was helping with the Monday morning distribution at the warehouse, a job that has become the perfect way for him to start his week. Bruce enjoys the camaraderie with fellow volunteers, all of whom bring diverse experiences and backgrounds to the table, united by the common goal of helping others.

What stands out most to Bruce is the strong sense of teamwork at Shepherd’s Pantry.

“Everyone jumps in to help without hesitation, whether a volunteer is unwell or the weather takes a turn.” – Bruce Correia

Shepherd’s Pantry is a team that will come together to help serve its clients and community. It’s this spirit that makes Shepherd’s Pantry such a special place, and Bruce couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to contribute during his retirement.

Outside of volunteering, Bruce enjoys riding his motorcycle – a passion he’s had since he was 16. But it’s his work at Shepherd’s Pantry that truly fills his heart. “Everyone who volunteers is here because they care about helping others,” he says, and Bruce is a shining example of that selfless spirit.

Thank you, Bruce, for your commitment and generosity to Shepherd’s Pantry!
