Glo Morison, president of the Peterborough Food Pantry board, said the numbers have been a bit perplexing.
At first there were less people than the 80 to 85 households they serve, which encompasses the ConVal, Jaffrey-Rindge and Mascenic school districts. The pantry is open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 9 a.m. to noon at the Peterborough Community Center.
