Our Mission Statement: The Mission of the Hanson Food Pantry is to serve those in need with kindness, respect, and confidentiality. Each person who comes to the Pantry hoping to receive food will receive one weeks' worth of groceries for their household, as well as referral information regarding other resources that they might find helpful.
In order to do this well, we will strive to maintain an adequate supply of safe and healthy foods to meet the level of demand. In addition we will provide nutritional information as well as healthy recipes using the foods we provide.
The Hanson Food Pantry operates as a non-profit 501(c) (3) corporation and is an agency partner of the Greater Boston Food Bank.

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.
