The Rindge Food Pantry fully appreciates donations. It is because of the generosity of our community members and local businesses that the Rindge Food Pantry can continue to operate as efficiently as possible. Because of the pantry’s partnership with the New Hampshire Food Bank in Manchester, the pantry is able to purchase many canned and boxed foods at low prices from the New Hampshire Food Bank. Therefore, we suggest that individuals and businesses donate money rather than food since those funds will go a long way toward purchasing food. That said, there are always items we cannot purchase from the New Hampshire Food Bank, thus some food donations are most welcome as well.

● Checks made payable to The Rindge Food Pantry, can be mailed to The Rindge Food Pantry, PO Box 738, Rindge, NH 03461.

● Cash should be delivered directly to the Food Pantry at 1102 Route 119, Rindge, on Thursdays between 2:00 pm and 5:30 pm.

● All donations are recorded, and when an address is available, all donors receive a thank you letter with information for tax deductions. All cash and check donations are kept strictly confidential.

For food donations, we ask that individuals deliver food to the Rindge Food Pantry between 2:00pm to 6:00pm on Thursdays. If for any reason delivery during this time is not possible, please call the pantry at 603-899-5031 and leave us a message so that we can make other delivery arrangements. Perishables are best when delivered to the pantry between 2:00pm and 3:00pm on Thursdays.

Please note: we do not accept donations of medication, including over-the-counter medications or supplements. At this time we are not accepting donations of infant formula.

For individuals or businesses who wish to hold a food drive, we suggest you call us at 603-899-5031, so that we may help you decide as to which type of foods the pantry is looking for at any given time.
