With rising costs, more and more households are having trouble meeting basic expenses, including having enough food. SNAP is our nation's federal nutrition assistance program, and can provide you with significant support for food. It also helps stimulate the economy, by ensuring households can purchase groceries, so it's a win for you and a win for your community. If you have never applied for or received Cash, Medicaid, SNAP or Child Care Assistance benefits from DHHS, you can apply for SNAP benefits online via NH Easy.

Congregate meals services are offered in a variety of settings. They are funded by the Older Americans Act along with other related nutrition services. In addition to serving healthy meals, this program presents opportunities for social engagement, information on healthy aging and meaningful volunteer opportunities, all of which contribute to an individual’s overall health and well-being.
Home delivered meals services provide nutritious meals along with nutrition and health information. These meals may be the first in-home service that an older adult receives, and the program serves as a primary access point for other home and community-based services.
