Mission Statement

At Gather we work to end hunger in the Greater Seacoast by providing access to nutritious food and education. We do this by offering pantry items as well as milk, eggs, meat and fresh produce. All members of our community are welcome if they are in need.

About This Cause

Gather is one of the oldest social service agencies in New Hampshire. We began in 1816 by a small group of women whose goal was to feed the families of fishermen in Portsmouth, NH. Since these humble beginnings, we have grown to become a nearly $2,000,000 organization. Originally named the Ladies Humane Society, we changed our name in 2017 from Seacoast Family Food Pantry to Gather to better reflect the programs and services we offer in our community. Our focus is not only to provide food and basic necessities but to inspire, encourage and teach our families how to make nutritionally sound food choices and prepare healthy meals. We continuously work with community partners including local farmers, grocers and partners in our community to ensure we provide fresh fruits, vegetables, high-quality proteins and whole grains year-round. At Gather, we strive to fulfill the needs of low-income individuals and families with food, personal care products and education for healthy living. Services are provided on both an emergency and ongoing basis, respecting the dignity of each individual.
