Our Mission
The Mission of the New Hampshire Food Bank is to feed hungry people by soliciting and effectively distributing grocery products and perishable foods, and offering innovative programs through a statewide network of approved agencies; by advocating for systemic change; and by educating the public about the nature of, and solutions to, problems of hunger in New Hampshire.
What We Do
The New Hampshire Food Bank, a program of Catholic Charities New Hampshire, serves as the only food bank in the state, working to provide nutritious food and resources to the hundreds of thousands of New Hampshire residents that are food insecure. The Food Bank supplies millions of pounds of food annually to more than 400 partner agencies, including food pantries, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, children’s programs, senior centers and more. In turn, these agencies provide hunger relief to those suffering from food insecurity throughout the state.
About the Program
The NH Food Bank in partnership with the NH Food Alliance, NH Farm Bureau and NOFA-NH are proud to announce the launch of “NH Feeding NH” a statewide initiative designed to support the purchase of NH grown food to feed our food insecure neighbors with nutritious locally grown produce, fruit, dairy protein and more throughout NH communities, something we believe every Granite Stater should have access to.
This program, modeled after our neighbors in Vermont and Maine, will not only support our local farmers, but will also help nourish communities in need, reduce food waste and replenish our local economy.
How Does it Work?
The NH Food Bank has more than 400 partner agencies across the state of NH including food pantries, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, children’s programs, senior centers and more. NH Feeding NH will connect these agencies and local farmers in their area to create partnerships and provide them with the funding to purchase more produce, fruit, dairy protein and more. Our agencies will then track and report success back to the NH Food Bank so that we may continue to improve and grow this program.
