Food Pantry
How you can help
Help us reach our goal!
We depend on volunteers and donations so that we can provide help to our neighbors who are experiencing need.
A big thank you to Thrivent which is covering all processing fees so that every single dollar goes to Freedom Food Pantry!
Let’s have 150 people make a gift of $10 or more. Together we can reach – and maybe even surpass – this goal!
This is an important, vital ministry of the church that serves residents in need on a weekly basis. Not only does it provide food to Freedom residents, it also serves Effingham and Ossipee as well. The Pantry operates under the able leadership of Doris Sirois and Vicki McVitty and a host of volunteers (coordinated by Dan Spear).
Donation boxes are placed at the Freedom Post Office, the Effingham Post Office and the Effingham Public Library. The Pantry also receives generous donations of non-perishable, non-expired food from the many camps in the region.
For Thanksgiving and Christmas in 2024, the Pantry provided holiday meals for families to prepare with the help of a generous contribution from Thrivent Financial.
