Lakes Region Food Pantry Celebrates 10th Anniversary

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Lakes Region Food Pantry of Moultonborough. The thrift store opened in the spring of 2013 and all proceeds support the food pantry. Throughout the year, and particularly during the holidays when need is so greatly felt, donations from near and far have enabled programs for lakes region clients.  They include: monthly food vouchers, summer lunch, sneaker, backpack programs and more. 

An open house will be held December 17th from 10 am to 2 pm to thank the community for its generosity over the past ten years. 

The thrift store will be closed from December 30, 2022 through February 28, 2023.  The food pantry will remain open Thursdays 11 am to 4 pm to serve clients.  Thrift store donations will be accepted Thursdays or by appointment by calling 603-476-5400 or 603-986-0357 during the winter when the store is closed.  Lakes Region Food Pantry and Thrift Store will reopen to the public March 1, 2023. 

Our Latest Press Release

June 1st 2022

In addition to its regular hours of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 11 am to 4 pm, Lakes Region Food Pantry and Thrift Shop will be open Saturdays during the summer from 10 am – 1 pm June 4th through September 3rd (excluding July 2nd).  Spring and Summer months bring more donations and it’s a great time to come in and browse.  LRFP welcomes shoppers and also encourages donations of gently used items including clothes, household goods and decor, furniture and small working appliances. For reference please see a list of accepted items on our website lakesregionfoodpantry.org.  The generous support of donors near and far have made the children’s summer lunch program possible.  Starting in June eligible families of Moultonborough and Interlakes students will receive weekly vouchers to purchase healthy foods at their choice of 3 local grocery stores.  $25 each week per child for 10 weeks allows families to provide healthy meals for their children while they are out of school for the summer months and not receiving free and reduced lunch.  Each child is also enrolled in a sneaker and backpack program.  Parents bring their children to Bootleggers in Meredith to be fitted for new sneakers for the new school year and to receive a new backpack.  LRFP is open to suggestions for additional outreach programs and can be reached in person during business hours or via 603-476-5400.
