Community Food and Fund Drives

Urgently Needed Food Items

Operation Frontline could use nutrition professionals to volunteer in teaching some of their programs, which is another interesting and rewarding way that we can use our education and training.

Contact Becca Story, bstory@nhfoodbank.org to volunteer!

What is the NH Food Bank? www.nhfoodbank.org
The NH Food Bank is a center for food collection and distribution in the community. Since 1984, the New Hampshire Food Bank has provided food to qualified nonprofit programs serving the hungry and needy throughout New Hampshire. Organizations such as homeless shelters, food pantries, children's meal programs, soup kitchens and elderly meal sites rely on the Food Bank for their food supplies. As an affiliate of America's Second Harvest, the nationwide network of food banks and food rescue programs, the New Hampshire Food Bank is the only food bank in the state and distributes food to all ten counties in New Hampshire.

What is the Mobile Food Pantry?
Even where agencies provide assistance, clients may not always have food because many agencies are only open certain hours or days of the week. This leads to areas continuing to have a high level of food and nutrition needs. Think of the Mobile Food Pantry as a bookmobile for food bringing nutritious foods to areas in NH where there are assistance gaps.The Mobile Food Pantry helps the Food Bank maximize food quality and eliminate food waste.

How clients of the Mobile Food Pantry benefit:

• Access to fresh produce
• Nutrition resources
• Social services information
