 WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
The Northampton Survival Center is a food pantry and referral service with locations in Northampton and Goshen, serving 18 communities throughout Hampshire County.
We now have five distinct distribution options, allowing people to access food support in whatever ways work best for them every week. Each of these prioritizes client choice in selecting groceries, toiletries, and other offerings:
• Drive-through pickup for residents of 18 towns from our Northampton site;
• Drive-through pickup for clients in the northern hilltowns from our Goshen site; • Curbside pickup in Northampton with easy online ordering in advance;
• Individual home deliveries from both the Northampton and Goshen pantries; and • Housing site deliveries in partnership with Grow Food Northampton.
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
The Center depends on a variety of donations from hundreds of individuals, families, and organizations. Financial gifts directly support our efforts to distribute hundreds of thousands of pounds of healthy food to our community and allows our services to remain stable. Whether you are a business or an individual, please see our website for details on different ways you can give financially. We are also asking all community members to help us reach people who may be food insecure for the first time, or who may need a little encouragement about using our services. Please share our information
when you find the opportunity.

QUOTES AND TESTIMONIALS
“This is a game changer for my family,” one client remarked. “Fresh produce coming every week makes a big difference!”
After many bags were loaded into her car, a client was overheard telling her passenger, after having worked with a volunteer over the phone, “that was the easiest thing I’ve ever experienced!”
