10 years ago, business was great and gas prices were at a low. I had the opportunity to travel across country with my dog for six weeks, discovering the United States from New Hampshire to California and back. As of January 2012, I will have done another road trip… not across country, but here in my home state, New Hampshire... with the same camping gear, the same dog, but for a different purpose.

Food Pantry Overload

The Community Kitchen in Keene has a generous, well organized establishment.  I had the pleasure to ask questions and take part in the process of receiving from their food pantry.
My thanks goes out to the staff and volunteers at The Community Kitchen in Keene for their time and big hearts in supporting their community.  They serve one thousand  people through the food pantry each month.  They want to be accessible to all residents in the area who are undergoing financial difficulties.  Individuals and families who are on a fixed income, lost a job, are retired, or a student, or homeless are served!

The amount of donations and food options were beyond my expectations.  Dietary needs can be met and generous amounts are handed out.  Remember, this time of year is the when people donate the most.  Look to give during other times of year when the shelves are close to empty.

Check out this video.  The Community Kitchen (<11 minutes long).

  1. impressed that dietary needs can be met, one reason i shy away from pantry foods is i cannot eat canned and most boxed foods due to the additives and precious little offered in pantries and kitchens is fresh food (understandable due to cost and refrigeration limitations)
