Alton Community Services

The mission and purpose of Alton Community Services is to provide relief to the poor, the distressed or underprivileged throughout Alton and the surrounding area by meeting their physical and spiritual needs through the provision of food, clothing, furniture or referral services to other charitable organizations, local churches and federal, state and local government sponsored assistance programs.

Currently we are assisting over 50 families, food is obtained through USDA/CAP (community action program), New Hampshire Food Bank, Hannaford (Alton) and donations from the community.

Albert Camus said, "In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me lay an invincible summer.  And that makes me happy." 

As Alton Community Services continues to help those in need of assistance, we wish to thank the following establishments for allowing our Alton Food Pantry donation box to grace their counter: Alton Circle Store, Alton Village Pizza, Alton Home and Lumber, Aubuchon Hardware, the Bay Diner, PUB23 and Shibley's at the Pier.  Their willingness to help us help the community makes us happy.   Look for our donation boxes to appear in other locations as we move from winter into (yes, it's really coming) summer.
