Nothing Can

NH Food Bank Nothing Campaign

Each day thousands of New Hampshire Residents eat nothing.

The New Hampshire Food Bank is selling cans of Nothing at participating grocery stores statewide. The cans are empty and represent the reality that more than 10% of our New Hampshire friends and neighbors face every day: hunger. Please click on the can of Nothing for more information.

Thanks to the Windham Mom’s Club for a huge diaper donation to Shepherds Pantry. The donation was so large that we were able to share it with St Gianna’s place! Thanks so much.

And thanks to Kids in Service, who are collaborating with Shepherd’s Pantry by picking up the brown bag collection from St Matthew’s Great job!

Justin and Ethan Sudati enjoyed learning about Advent and service by doing a reverse Advent calendar leading up to December 25th. Every day they would donate food to help people in need as they anticipated Christmas. As a result they had two big boxes of food to bring to the Pantry for donation. They participate with their Mom Kristen in the organizations Mosaic Kids and Kids in Service.

What a great idea! Thanks so much.

It was a rainy and cold Saturday, however that did not stop the NH Tackles Hunger event!

WMUR teamed up with the New Hampshire Food Bank and worked with high school football teams, including the Windham High School football team, to tackle hunger in New Hampshire. At the WHS football team’s October 13th game, Shepherd’s Pantry volunteers were there to collect food and donations from fans before the game.

The Windham High School football team also collected food donations during the week for the Pantry.

In total, 640 lbs of food was collected for Shepherd’s Pantry!

Thank you to all the volunteers, the Windham High School football team, and everyone who came to the game to support the NH Tackles Hunger event!
