Through our partnership with the NH Food Bank and generous donations, we continue to feed those in need.
Through our partnership with the NH Food Bank, in 2020 we received 10,325 pounds of food which would have cost a Fair Market Value price of $16,726 but because of our partnership our share was $930.
Since Family Friendly Meals inception in February we have shared approximately 2,145 pounds of food for a dollar value of $3,475.
Our volunteers have given over 600 hours of their time during the pandemic each month (2020) which is an approximate dollar value of $16,320 per month.
