The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the demand for food assistance, housing and other services, especially in the North Country. The heads of the N.H. Food Bank and Tri-County Community Action Program told U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) their programs are seeing people seeking help who have never sought assistance before.

Hassan hosted a virtual roundtable Wednesday to demonstrate the importance of additional funding for individuals in the next COVID-19 funding bill. Efforts to pass the so-called HEROES bill are stalled in Congress.
