The Open Door continues working to alleviate the impact of hunger in communities across Essex County while advocating on behalf of those in need. Food security remains a genuine concern as prices are at a 40-year-high. Today's Autumn Breakfast at the Beauport Hotel Gloucester helps jump-start the Holiday Basket and Thanksgiving Food Drive programs.
In 2021, The Open Door connected 8,516 people to 1.83 million pounds of food - that adds up to 1.5 million meals! To learn more about The Open Door Food Pantry or to donate, please click https://www.foodpantry.org/
