They are a great way to reconnect with old acquaintances and build new ones.About the Salem Pantry:The Salem Pantry was formed in 1991 to provide Salem residents with emergency food. Primarily funded by the generous donations of the Salem community and various state and federal grants, the Salem Pantry is a proud affiliate of the Greater Boston Food Bank and Project Bread. Our mission is to provide Salem residents with nutritious food in an atmosphere of dignity and respect. Currently over 100 families benefit from healthy perishable food and groceries in their time of need.The Salem Pantry is particularly proud of our Backpack Program, which provides food-filled backpacks to Salem elementary students in need of food over the weekend. The Backpack Program is a way to help these students and their families faced with a weekend food crisis. Currently, 154 Salem Public School students go home with full backpacks on Friday afternoons.
