Feeding Tiny Tummies is a dynamic non-profit organization founded in 2017 and proudly recognized as a 501(c)(3) since 2019. We have rigorously expanded our operations and will not stop until we achieve even greater heights. Initially, we focused on serving local Head Start programs by providing bags of non-perishable food. We have transformed this approach into a robust "one bag, one child, one week" initiative, now delivering weekly essentials such as nutritious produce, yogurt or milk, bread, and meat directly to families in need.
Our reach has extended beyond Cheshire County to Sullivan County, and we actively provide services to multiple daycares and public schools through dedicated volunteer deliveries. We now serve over 550 children each week, not to mention the additional families who benefit during our open hours.
Our pantry is open to all who are in need, operating for four hours each week: Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Thursdays from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. No documentation is necessary; we maintain a record of the meals distributed. Additionally, on May 2, 2022, we launched a resource center at our new location at 305 Park Ave, Keene, NH. This center is equipped with computers for job applications, resume assistance, and help with accessing state benefits—everything aimed at empowering individuals to regain their footing.
On November 1, 2024, we boldly launched the Preloved Project, a thrift store designed to generate support for Feeding Tiny Tummies. Through strategic partnerships with area agencies, we ensure that families can shop for essential clothing and household items they require. We are not just serving our community; we are actively transforming lives.
