MANCHESTER — Amid increased costs, federal funding cuts and rising food insecurity rates, the New Hampshire Food Bank, the only food bank in the state and a program of Catholic Charities New Hampshire, is reigniting its call to action, encouraging Granite Staters to take action to help fight hunger statewide. In 2024, it distributed more than 17 million pounds of food.

According to a new Feeding America study, food insecurity rates are on the rise across the U.S. Feeding America, a nationwide network of food banks, food pantries and local meal programs, recently released Map the Meal Gap 2025, which reports nearly 150,000 New Hampshire residents experience food insecurity, including more than 36,000 children.
