At Gather we do a once-a-month visit, and you may join us during any of our open hours Monday - Friday. The food you receive is a supplement and should provide you with 7-10 days worth of food. However, you will also receive personal care items and cooking ingredients that may last for the month. 

We understand that financial needs change for families. We are very flexible and if you need food in your home you are welcome to shop. We are always open to working with people for the long term or during a short-term need. Some clients only need help during the winter months when heat is costly. Some are seasonal workers who have needs on the off season. Please come in and talk to us if you need food.

Gather provides several ways to get food: our Pantry Market, our Mobile Markets, and our Meals for Kids (M4K) program. Find out more by visiting those pages.

Please bring a picture ID and proof of residency. However, if this is not available to you, please come on in and we’ll work with you. We never want anything to hinder your ability to receive food.

Absolutely. Families using the Pantry Market are also encouraged to participate in other Gather programs they are eligible for (e.g., Meals 4 Kids). Please ask any staff member for information about upcoming programs and events.

We currently only serve residents of NH and York County, ME. For Massachusetts residents, check out these resources from Project Bread!
