Waysmeet Welcomes
At Waysmeet, all are welcome. Our food pantry serves individuals and families from Durham, the Seacoast area, and UNH, including many who are new to the U.S., working and studying here. We are fortunate to have a culturally diverse community. To better meet the needs of our neighbors, we’re working to understand which familiar foods they’d like to see in Cornucopia more often. The items listed below are rarely available from the NH Food Bank and local grocery store donations, and we’d greatly appreciate donations and food drives that include these foods.
If you have more to add to our international foods wish list, please contact us!
