NH Feeding NH

The NH Food Bank’s ‘NH Feeding NH’ program, in partnership with the NH Food AllianceNH Farm Bureau and NOFA-NH,  is a statewide initiative designed to support the purchase of NH grown food to feed our food insecure neighbors with nutritious, locally grown fruits, vegetables, dairy and protein 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.

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’ provides our agencies with funding to purchase local produce, protein and dairy , and connects them with local farmers in their area. Agencies will track and report their purchases to the NH Food Bank so that we may continue to improve and grow this program.
