The Open Pantry of Greater Lowell


  • About Us

    OUR MISSION:

    The mission of The Open Pantry is to relieve hunger in our community. We aim to connect people to a variety of filling, nutritious, and culturally-appropriate food as well as to other community resources; to advocate on behalf of those in need locally, statewide, and nationally; and to engage with others in building food security.

    THOSE WE SERVE:

    We provide short-term food assistance to those in need who reside in the Greater Lowell area. The reasons for need are numerous, but for many persons it is a choice between food and heat or medications; it may be a delayed or stolen check or it could be an abandoned person who has no other means. While the reasons are varied, the needs are real.

    • Over 1,900 people are served each month.
    • More than 1/3 of those we help are children.
    • Assistance is offered to individuals and families without any discrimination based on race, creed, or country of origin.
