The White Birch Community Center has expanded its operations in Henniker’s Cornerstone Building with a new food pantry and additional program spaces.
Construction of the building’s west wing began in November 2025, creating a pantry more than twice the size of the previous basement area and adding a mechanical lift for easier access.
The pantry, which distributed nearly 60,000 pounds of food last year, now offers a free‑choice point system and is open twice weekly along with home delivery services for homebound clients.
Overall renovation costs reached $3 million, with more than $2 million already raised, supporting the center’s goal of strengthening community connections through expanded childcare, senior activities, youth programs and office space for local services.
