The NCC Food Pantry provides access to nutritious food to people in the greater community who experience food insecurity while building community, creating connection, enriching lives and community service opportunities.
Pantry Hours
Thursday
12:00 PM - 6:00 PM
The NCC Food Pantry provides fresh and non-perishable food, personal hygiene, and home cleaning items free of charge to Newmarket and Newfields NH residents.
If you are short on food during the week when the pantry is closed, we’ll do our best to help you. Call the NCC office at 603-659-3892 during open hours Monday - Thursday 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM.
The Food Pantry operates through the generosity of many community volunteers who help stock the shelves, serve pantry shoppers with a smile and donate money and food to keep the shelves stocked! We adhere to the USDA nondiscrimination statement, which can be reviewed here:
