What We Do
PACH is a caring and compassionate place where our neighbors can find the help they need.
Our Mission
PACH Outreach is a volunteer-staffed, community-based non-profit organization that provides assistance to residents of the towns of Pepperell and Dunstable, Massachusetts. As the sole food pantry for these towns, we provide food, personal care items, and referrals to assistance programs.
We serve scores of families and individuals each year, including many seniors, veterans, and the disabled. We are committed to providing them with supplemental food to help them stay healthy, while assisting them where possible in achieving long-term self-sufficiency.
Any resident of the towns in our service area are eligible for assistance from PACH. Some publicly funded assistance programs have income or age guidelines, but PACH programs do not. We strongly believe that no one should be hungry or cold.
