We Provide Food Assistance to Those in Need in Southern New Hampshire
The operations of Shepherd’s Pantry are carried out by a dedicated group of volunteers who, each week, shop for food, pick up regular donations from supermarkets and bakeries, fill the shelves and freezers and then bag the food and distribute it to our clients each Monday morning.
Struggling With Food Insecurity?
We’re here to help.
Shepherd’s Pantry operates every Monday morning as a drive through from the Windham Presbyterian Church parking lot providing food assistance to those in need in Southern New Hampshire. We want to make sure that none of our neighbors goes hungry.
Due to the increase in client volume, the Shepherd’s Pantry Board of Directors has voted that as of July 1, 2023, Shepherd’s Pantry will only accept new clients living in Windham. We will continue to serve our client base, including those not living in Windham, and any other new Windham families until such time that our weekly numbers recede.

The Turkey Trot = Neighborhood Fun Run!
The Windham Turkey Trot started in 1995 and is now the primary annual Fundraising Event to support the Windham Shepherd’s Pantry.
In 2020, Shepherd’s Pantry was given the opportunity to assume the operation of the Trot so now both the Windham Shepherd’s Pantry and the Windham Turkey Trot are under the same 501(c)(3) umbrella. This means 100% of the funds raised from The Windham Turkey Trot goes to Shepherd’s Pantry to help its clients who experience food insecurity.
Volunteer Spotlight
Rick Dolan
Rick Dolan is a current, long-time volunteer who joined Shepherd’s Pantry in 2014. A former air traffic controller, one of Rick’s main jobs at Shepherd’s Pantry and the Windham Turkey Trot is traffic and parking control.
Every Monday morning, Shepherd’s Pantry families are greeted with a smile and wave from Rick, who is the first volunteer they see each week.
On his first day at Shepherd’s Pantry, he showed how many hats he could wear and, as a result, joined many behind-the-scenes teams on his first day. He’s the meat pick up coordinator, brings prepared grocery bags for Monday Distribution, and restocks our on-site pantry during the week.
“Shepherd’s Pantry has been a great experience to meet a lot of people in town and having something to do every Monday.” – Rick Dolan
Thank you, Rick, for your continued support and dedication to Shepherd’s Pantry!
