Intro | Show Up | Donate | Get Help
Let’s chat about food access in Littleton and the North Country and how you can show up.
At Littleton Food Co-op, we understand that many of our shoppers and community members are affected by the federal government funding pause, which has led to a lack of funding for SNAP benefits and other assistance programs. For those who rely on these programs to access groceries, even a short disruption can mean difficult choices about food, bills, and other essentials.
This affects not only our shoppers but also our staff. Food insecurity is a shared reality across our communities—and some of the people who make the Littleton Co-op run every day are also navigating the same challenges. We can show care through our actions toward each other by being understanding, patient, and connected. A little patience and kindness can go a long way.
Here’s the Plan: Show Up
Here are ways that you can show up for yourself and your community:
Donate money, food, and time, if you are able;
Utilize food access resources and programs if you need them;
Share this information to educate others in our area.

Our November Partners of the Month: Local Food Pantries
Round up at the register! As we have done for many years, the Littleton Co-op’s Partner of the Month for November is the area food pantries. 100% of small change round-ups and donations at the Co-op will go directly to these food pantries.
Food Drive
Donate food! During the federal funding pause, we will be increasing our food collection efforts, and we invite you to join us. Please consider bringing unopened, unexpired, non-perishable goods to our collection bin in the Co-op exit foyer, or buying a few extra things when you shop. These donations will go to local pantries along with our other food donations.
Feed A Family Fundraiser
Buy a box of food for a neighbor in need! Now in its fourth year, the Co-op is raising funds to distribute Thanksgiving meal boxes to local food pantries. Shoppers can purchase $10 coupons at any register; each coupon pays for a box of Thanksgiving sides for one family. Our goal is 700 boxes by Nov. 15th.
