Neighbors In Need

Our Mission

For more than 40 years, Neighbors In Need has been dedicated to significantly reducing hunger and food insecurity and to providing people in need in Greater Lawrence increased access to basic necessities, with dignity, respect, and privacy. We seek to engage the community and to provide opportunities to serve, for both donors and volunteers. Each week, we offer several mobile market food pantries strategically located within the neighborhoods where our clients live. We provide healthy and nutritious non-perishable foods, fresh produce, and other essential supplies to anyone experiencing hunger or hardship. Our small staff is the framework within which we engage a vast network of volunteers to help us nimbly respond to evolving community needs.
