Your support provides reliable access to food.

Your support is needed now more than ever. Inflation and the rising cost of food continue to impact the communities we serve. We have seen a dramatic increase in need over the past year. Pantry visits increased by 30% from 2021, and we expect that number to grow in 2023.

With support from you and others, The Salem Pantry has increased access to healthy, nutritious foods. Yet, despite our progress, the need is still profound. 30% of our neighbors in Salem live at or below the poverty line.

1 in 4 people in Massachusetts are unsure where their next meal will come from.

As the need for food increases, we continue to scale our services to meet it. In early 2023, we are opening Salem’s first-ever brick-and-mortar storefront pantry to decrease barriers to service and increase reliable access to food.

We could not do this without you! Your generosity and compassion has provided 1.7 million meals to Salem and North Shore residents this year.

Just $75 will provide one family of four with groceries for a week.
