The Daily Good Global Foods Pantries

THE DAILY GOOD aims to make a difference in the Keene, New Hampshire, region by focusing on Diversity and Inclusion, Food Security, Health and Well-being, and Literacy. Several of our initiatives support all 4 of these pillars and are determined by asking community members this question: “What would make your daily life better?” Through their impassioned answers, we form initiatives that close community gaps and support individuals overlooked or underserved by larger nonprofits. As an all-volunteer nonprofit with no bureaucracy, our initiatives are implemented quickly with immediate impact.

Since our founding in 2019, The Daily Good has purchased and delivered more than 40,000 free, culturally responsive food items to our Global Foods Pantries at the three college campuses in Keene, NH. Responding to a call for “foods from home” by students at Keene State College, we set up a table in the Student Center with nonperishable food items sourced from Central America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and other regions. The pantry proved to be enormously popular and was invigorated by brand-specific requests from the college’s growing population of students with roots from outside the U.S. We soon added a similar pantry at Antioch University of New England, and in 2022 we established another at River Valley Community College. We’ve also added a second pantry at Keene State. All of this growth, of course, increases our need for funding, and this crowdfunding campaign is designed to help with that goal.

Help us raise $2,800 or more in February to support our Global Foods Pantries!
