Our director, Chris Cameron, who leads us all with kindness, dedication and a smile. The Town and people of Hanson, who supports us everyday. The businesses who let us put coin jars on their counters. The local businesses who support us with donations of food and money. Our partners-The Greater Boston Food Bank, Shaw's of Hanson and Target of Hanover. We are so grateful. Finally to the people who cross our threshold looking for help, we hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season and a Happy New Year.

The Hanson Food Pantry is so thankful to all the volunteers and Town Departments that helped us during the power outage. Words cannot express our gratitude. Our volunteers were exceptional, manning the generators every four hours to maintain the gas level. And then when power was restored checking for any damaged food and cleaning, disinfecting our appliances and doing some grocery shopping so that we will have the basics for our clients. To the Hanson Fire, Police and Highway thank you so much for helping with equipment, checking on the food pantry and answering questions when called. Because of all of these dedicated people, the Pantry was able to open on Tuesday and serve people in need.
