About
We have been serving meals in Derry, NH since 1989. We began our ministry in the basement of the First Baptist Church. In 2017, through the generosity of the community and Triangle Credit Union believing in us, we were able to purchase and renovate our own building at 6 Crystal Avenue. Our new location is just north of the intersection of Crystal Avenue and Broadway, across the street from CVS and Dunkin’ Donuts.
Our office is located at the front of the building (up the ramp), and our regular business hours are 1pm-6pm Monday through Friday.
