Prior to COVID-19, Portsmouth’s Gather food pantry was serving roughly 100,000 pounds of food to 2,500-3,000 people a month. Since the pandemic began and more people are finding themselves food insecure, Gather has upped its monthly food distribution to 200,000 pounds to about 6,500-7,000 people, according to Associate Executive Director Seneca Bernard.

“So while there’s been a lot of challenges, some of the positives that have come out of it have certainly benefited the underlying support system that we all have,” he said.
