The OCP is an emergency food source for residents of Temple, Wilton, Lyndeborough and Greenfield. It was founded in 1996 and is currently occupying space in the Wilton Falls Building across from the Police Station. The OCP is staffed solely by volunteers.
All are welcome, no one in an emergency situation has ever been turned away. People coming to the OCP have different needs. Some come once a year, some once a month and some come every two weeks. Families who come regularly must meet state income guidelines.
The OCP is totally supported through donations from generous individuals and organizations in the towns served. All donations are tax-deductible.

Our “Walk for Open Cupboard” will help to stock the Pantry for the fall and winter.
The Second Congregation Church Missions group is organizing the walk.
What can I do to help?
Ask friends and family to sponsor you on the walk. All proceeds will go directly to the Open Cupboard Pantry through the Wilton Lions Charitable Foundation.
When is the walk?
The walk will be on October 16, rain or shine. Registration begins at 9:00 at the flats adjacent to the elementary school in Wilton.
What if I cannot walk very far?
There will be two routes planned. One will be around the school, the longer route will go down Maple Street and back up to the school. There will be crossing guards as needed.
Where do I get sponsor forms?
You can download our form right here. Or you can get a form at the Wilton Library, FRES, and the Wilton Lyndeborough Coop School.
