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 food prices are still at
above historical-average rates. In 2023,
all food prices are expected to increase 5.8%.
Last week’s Autumn Breakfast at the Beauport Hotel
Gloucester helped jump-start the Holiday Basket and Thanksgiving Food Drive
programs. Thank you to everyone on the
amazing The Open Door team, #statesenatorbrucetarr whose key message was: Life Happens. We Can
Help.
In 2022, The Open Door connected 8,486 people to 1.78 million pounds of food - that adds up to 1.48 million meals! To learn more about The Open Door Food Pantry or to donate, please click https://www.foodpantry.org.
Did you know? A donation of $35 covers the cost of a Holiday
Basket, complete with a turkey and all the fixings, for a local family that
needs a little extra help setting the table this holiday season. Donate today:
