Shift Highlight: Turkey Week Distribution

Help us bring a holiday meal to families this Thanksgiving!

The Salem Pantry will be giving out turkeys and whole chickens Tuesday through Saturday, November 17 to 21, across the street from The Market at

Espacio, 105 Congress Street.

Volunteers are needed to help neighbors pick up their holiday meals, and every shift makes a difference.

What’s Happening With SNAP: This Is Why Your Volunteer Hours Matter

Changes to SNAP are making it harder for many families across Massachusetts to put food on the table, and more neighbors are turning to The Salem Pantry for support. Every shift you give helps us meet that need, from stocking shelves to welcoming guests at checkout.

Your time also matters in another way. As an ABAWD qualified site, The Salem Pantry can help neighbors meet the SNAP work requirement through volunteering. Know someone who could benefit? Point them to our SNAP team.

The October Club Is Back!

The October Club is back in action! This month, local Salem businesses are rallying behind The Salem Pantry to support neighbors across the North Shore.

When you get a chance, stop by and check them out, and thank them for being part of our mission community.

A Round of Applause for Rosemary!

Rosemary has been volunteering at The Salem Pantry for three years, lending her time at The Market, where she loves seeing the community come together and the gratitude guests share at checkout.

When she’s not at The Market, she’s spending time with her extended family and making quilts for expecting mothers at the pantry, plus hats for the winter.

Thank you, Rosemary, for your hard work and heart. We’re so glad you’re part of The Salem Pantry family!
