Our Dining Room is Open Again!

We are continuing to serve food in take out containers, but guests now have the option to eat indoors or outside. Thank you to the volunteers and guests who were patient as we worked to make this happen as safely as possible!

 

 

We are accepting food donations from individuals and local businesses. Donations can be made Monday - Friday from 10:00-4:00. Thank you!

ALL ARE WELCOME

 

A mission powered by generous donations and amazing volunteers.

By the numbers...
The growing impact we have on our community.

Through our partnership with the NH Food Bank and generous donations, we continue to feed those in need.

40k - 45k Meals Served Each Year

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.

2,145 lbs Shared

Since Family Friendly Meals inception in February we have shared approximately 2,145 pounds of food for a dollar value of $3,475.

600 Hours

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.

"I never thought I'd need to ask for a little help to feed my family. Hard times can happen to anyone at any time. Thank you for being there for us."

What's Needed for the Kitchen

This time of year we have a tendency to quickly run out of canned vegetables - in particular carrots, peas and beans. If you're considering a donation of non-perishable items, please consider these as they will go to good use!

Thank you.
