What We Do

We distribute nutritious food and other basic necessities at our mobile food pantries, strategically located in neighborhoods where our clients live. We provide diapers and supplies for families with infants at our Lawrence-based diaper pantry. Neighbors In Need serves anyone who is food insecure or experiencing diaper need with dignity and respect.  We are committed to adapting quickly to the changing needs of our community.
