Mission and programs · 2023

• The Mobile Food Pantry is a monthly outreach program where we go into the Merrimac Courts Housing project & Methuen housing and we provide free grocery bags to individuals and families who are under-resourced in the housing projects. Even a small bag of groceries is often just enough to help struggling families or individuals get through a difficult time. We not only help to address the issue of hunger but also help keep at-risk families from sliding into homelessness. In 2023 MVDC distributed approximately 40,000 pounds of food to approximately 1,500 households. 60 unpaid volunteers work in this program.
