Overview
Mission
Provide food and emergency assistance to those in need after other resources have been exhausted.
What it reported doing in 2025
Food Pantry: Provided emergency food for 4,566 client households. Includes dedicated senior pantry sessions, delivery to home-bound seniors and increased pantry sessions for families with school aged children during the summer months. SVdP Exeter offers emergency food to low income individuals and families who are residents of Exeter, Stratham, Newfields, Brentwood, Kensington and East Kingston on a weekly basis. Items available are housed on our shelves, in coolers and freezers including fresh vegetables, milk, butter, eggs, bread and pastries, large meat selection, non-perishable packaged items and personal care items. The pantry has both daytime and evening sessions. SVdP Exeter was the first pantry in NH to be named a Gold Certified Nutrition Pantry.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 92% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
