We serve the residents of Derry and surrounding towns. We do not turn anyone away when they visit the Food Pantry.
Visiting the Pantry
Anyone is welcome to visit the pantry two times per month, and you do not have to be a member of the First Baptist Church to receive assistance. Bring a photo ID with your current address. If the address is not current, please bring a piece of mail with your current address along with a photo ID.
Interested in Donating?
No donation is too small, but please do not drop off expired products or previously opened containers. We also do not accept clothing donations or any other non-food items. Please take your non-food donations to a thrift store or drop box.
Non-perishable food goods can be dropped off at the building behind the church during the Pantry’s open hours on Tuesdays from 10 am to 2 pm. Otherwise, please leave your donations inside the porch up the cement stairs to the right of the Food Pantry’s red door.
