New Hampshire Food Bank

New Hampshire Food Bank NH's only food bank since 1984; helping serve food insecure individuals throughout NH.

The mission of the New Hampshire Food Bank (NHFB) is to feed hungry people by soliciting and effectively distributing grocery products and perishable foods; to offer innovative programs through a statewide network of approved agencies; to advocate for systemic change; and to educate the public about the root causes and solutions to the problem of hunger in New Hampshire.

⏰ In just 2 days, NH Gives begins!

From 🗓️ June 9 at 5 PM through June 10 at 5 PM, help us raise 🎯 $70,000 to support NH Feeding NH, a critical program that helps local agencies purchase fresh, nutritious food directly from New Hampshire farms.
🔖Bookmark our NH Gives page: https://www.nhgives.org/organization/nh-food-bank

🌱 NH Feeding NH supports:
• Fresh fruits and vegetables
• 🥛 Dairy products
• 🍗 Protein-rich foods
• 🌎 Culturally preferred foods
• 🚜 Bulk purchasing from local farms
• 🤝 Forward contracting agreements that strengthen New Hampshire agriculture

This program helps:
• ❤️ Increase access to fresh, local food for neighbors facing hunger
• 👨‍🌾 Support New Hampshire farmers
• ♻️ Reduce food waste
• 💵 Strengthen our local economy

Recent federal funding changes resulted in the loss of nearly $1 million intended to help expand this program through 2028, limiting our ability to provide local, fresh foods to those who need them most.

✨ The good news? Every donation made during NH Gives from June 9 at 5 PM through June 10 at 5 PM will be DOUBLED thanks to a generous matching gift!

🎉 Give local. Feed local. Double your impact. https://www.nhgives.org/organization/nh-food-bank

We were so grateful for the opportunity last week to visit with our Feeding America affiliate, the The Greater Boston Food Bank - special thanks to GBFB Chief Operating Officer Cheryl Schondek for an informative overview of their operations, growth, and impact throughout Eastern Massachusetts and beyond. Cheryl and key members of the GBFB team hosted us for lunch, and led us on a tour of their amazing facility in the heart of Boston.

As food prices continue to rise, food banks across the country are experiencing increased demand for assistance. It was valuable to share ideas, lessons learned, and best practices, as we seek to strengthen our collective impact, reach more people in need, operate as efficiently as possible, and reduce food waste. We appreciate the chance to learn from one another and explore new ways to better serve our communities.

Thank you to the Greater Boston Food Bank for your hospitality and partnership as we work together toward a future where everyone has reliable access to nutritious food.

Today on National Donut Day, we’re giving a huge thank you to the incredible crew from Dunkin' (Quinn Management - dba Dunkin') who recently volunteered with the New Hampshire Food Bank! 🍩💙

This amazing team helped inspect and sort 6,289 pounds of food through our Fresh Rescue program — enough to provide 5,240 meals for our neighbors experiencing hunger across New Hampshire.

Through Fresh Rescue, the NH Food Bank partners with grocery stores, wholesalers, and retailers across the state to recover fresh, surplus food that is still safe and nutritious, redirecting it to local families instead of letting it go to waste. Learn more about the program here: https://nhfoodbank.org/what-we-do/fresh-rescue-program/

Dunkin’ is marking National Donut Day 2026 with free donut offers, special giveaways — learn more here: https://news.dunkindonuts.com/news/national-donut-day-2026

Thank you, Dunkin crew, for rolling up your sleeves and helping us fight hunger across the Granite State. Your support was truly the sweetest! 🍩🙌

Save the Date! 💚 NH Gives is less than ONE WEEK away – it starts at 5 pm on June 9th and ends at 5pm on June 10th! We hope you'll support the NH Food Bank during this 24-hour day of giving for nonprofits across the Granite State.

This year, thanks to generous matching gifts, every dollar you donate during NH Gives (up to $37,500) will be DOUBLED! Our goal is to raise $70,000 in critical funding for our 'NH Feeding NH' program.

The NH Feeding NH program supports the purchase of locally grown fruits, vegetables, dairy and protein from NH farms to provide nourishing foods for our neighbors experiencing hunger throughout the state. Due to federal funding cuts, the program has had to scale back significantly.

But, together, we can restore it! We hope you’ll join us for this opportunity to make 2X the impact with your gift to the NH Feeding NH program during NH Gives!

☀ Summer is a time for kids to play, explore, and build confidence.

But when school meals pause, many families in New Hampshire lose a dependable source of nutrition.

That’s why NH Food Bank works alongside the Feeding America network to provide meals in several locations where children already gather, helping ensure summer meals continue nourishing kids’ growth and potential.

The NH Food Bank's SUN Meals program is a federally funded, state-administered program which provides kids & teens with access to tasty, nutritious meals during the summer months.

As part of that FREE program, families with children ages 18 & younger can receive (depending on location) freshly prepared meals or meal kit grocery bags.

⚠️Registration may be required or encouraged for select sites and rules apply.

Carroll County registration is required this year and still has spots open. Families living in Tamworth, Madison, Albany, and Conway are welcome to register here: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=SWu2t7Na70CJTIx8n6AHKHTi2QE0GvtIjIW2icbsV7dUN05BNFpCSkUzREQ2OFJTRUtKWjAwWlI0Ni4u&route=shorturl

Registration is encouraged for Keene and Colebrook to help us plan. Registration links to come in mid-June.

“Due to increasing food costs, even getting a dozen eggs each week helps a lot. All the other food is an added bonus.”

For many Granite Staters, small things make a big difference. Rising food costs continue to stretch household budgets, and support from our network of partner agencies helps fill the gap—sometimes in ways that may seem simple, but are truly meaningful. 🍞🍽️🥦

When you give to the New Hampshire Food Bank, you give to all the clients of the 400+ pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters that we partner with across the state. 60% of the food that our partner agencies serve to individuals experiencing food insecurity comes from the NH Food Bank.

Access to consistent, nutritious food shouldn’t be a luxury. Together, we’re working to ensure our neighbors have what they need, when they need it.

The New Hampshire Food Bank was honored to participate in the ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the grand opening Wonder’s first New Hampshire location at 7 Main Street in Bedford! We’re also incredibly grateful to have been selected as Wonder’s nonprofit partner for New Hampshire.

Wonder brings together over 20 top-tier and celebrity-chef menus, allowing customers to mix and match dishes from a variety of restaurants all in one order. We were especially excited to see menu selections from past Steel Chef Challenge hosts Marcus Samuelsson (Streetbird) and Michael Symon (Yasas)!

Thank you, Wonder, for your partnership and commitment to supporting our mission to fight hunger across New Hampshire. Learn more about Wonder and their Bedford location here: https://www.wonder.com/food-delivery-locations/bedford
