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
Teddy and Donna Dyer
Teddy and Donna Dyer, nicknamed the “love birds”, are a husband and wife who began volunteering at Shepherd’s Pantry together in November 2020.
When Teddy retired, he and Donna were looking for something to do in their local community. Donna reached out to a Shepherd’s Pantry volunteer and the rest is history!
The first day the “love birds” volunteered, their first job was sorting bread. Now, Donna is also known as the “Dog Lady” and she knows every client who has pets! Every Monday, Donna ensures clients with pets in need are also provided pet food in addition to the client’s usual order.
“It’s very rewarding to help others.” – Donna Dyer
On Monday Distribution Days, Teddy manages traffic control and greets clients. He enjoys making connections with every single client he sees and helps direct each client to their drive-thru pick-up place.
We “feel that we’ve been lucky in life and want to give back to those in need.” – Teddy Dyer
Thank you, Teddy and Donna, for your service and dedication to Shepherd’s Pantry!
