North End Food Pantry

Founded in 2013, the North End Food Pantry is an all-volunteer run 501(c)(3) nonprofit located in Burlington’s New North End. Our mission is to reduce hunger and improve the quality of life in Burlington by providing access to nutritious food, essential personal care items, and clothing. Every Saturday and Sunday from 9:00am-11:00am, the North End Food Pantry provides FREE fresh produce, deli and bakery items, shelf-stable canned goods, essential personal care items including diapers and menstrual care products, and clothing for all ages, sizes, and genders, serving over 7,000 people annually. The child sitting next to your child in school may have gone without food over the weekend. The senior you see in your neighborhood may be worrying about having enough food to make it to their next social security check. The person helping you at the store may putting on a smile, even though they are struggling with bills after paying for car repairs. Without our help, people will go hungry and suffer needlessly. We hope that offering a place where people can come when their finances are down can prevent anyone from going hungry. We help with necessities like diapers, wipes, menstrual products and clothing, so families don’t have to compromise their well being or dignity. We are also here to provide a friendly smile and encouragement. It’s easy to feel alone when dealing with financial hardship. We value and respect people as members of our community. This is why we are here.
