September is Hunger Action Month: There’s Still Time to Help the New Hampshire Food Bank

September is Hunger Action Month and the New Hampshire Food Bank could certainly use your help.

Did you know the New Hampshire Food Bank serves as the only food bank in the Granite State? They supply food and other resources to over 400 agencies, including food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, children's programs, senior centers and more.

NH Tackles Hunger

There will be a food drive at high school football games in many communities throughout our great state this Friday and Saturday, September 25th and 26th. All food donated will go to local food pantries. So bring some canned items and cheer on your favorite high school team! (WMUR and the NHIAA are the proud sponsors of NH Tackles Hunger).

If you're looking for more ways to help the New Hampshire Food Bank, please think about volunteering your time or holding a food drive of your own:
