Partner Agencies

The New Hampshire Food Bank distributes nutritious food and resources to more than 400 partner agencies throughout the state.

Partner agencies include food pantries, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, children’s programs, and senior centers who, in turn, distribute to our neighbors in need. This section provides our agencies with the resources necessary while working with the Food Bank.
