Our mission is to reduce food insecurity by providing healthy and nutritious food, wellness programs, and community referrals to those in need.

Plymouth Non-Resident Program

Customers are presented with a list of foods acquired through the TEFAP or CTNAP program, choose the foods they would like from this list, and a volunteer will shop for them.  The list can be found on the Pantry’s website by clicking: Non-Resident Tab.   If the Pantry has an abundance of non-TEFAP/CTNAP food, they will share it with the non-resident customer.

Plymouth Resident Program

Residents will receive food that is offered through the TEFAP program and food purchased through funds raised by the Food Pantry.  There are three shopping options for Plymouth residents:

• In-person shopping: customers, with the assistance of a volunteer, select the items they prefer from the shelves of the Pantry.
• Curbside Pick Up: A customer may choose their food using our Online Order Form.   A volunteer, doing the best they can to accommodate their request, will then shop for them.  The customer will then be scheduled to pick up their order.
• Home Delivery: To qualify for this service the customer must be homebound according to the definitions set by Medicare or have an emergency.  Those requesting a delivery should follow the same process as Curbside Pick-up when requesting an order.  Deliveries are made on Monday and Friday.

Information regarding storm closings and holiday closures can be found on our website by clicking the Customers Tab.
