Ending Hunger
in New Hampshire
Our system of food and nutrition programs is like
a power grid that moves healthy food through communities and schools to households.
In New Hampshire, the grid is well-developed in some areas and patchy or non-existent in others. We could get close to ending hunger in our state if everyone eligible for federal nutrition programs was connected to those resources, which represent our nation’s commitment to supporting the health and well-being of any of us who might found ourselves in need.
To foster the health and well-being of all New Hampshire residents, we need to make sure more communities are plugged into the grid, so that everyone eligible for food and Nutrition supports receives it.
