Rochester Elks #1393 Assists Mobile Food Pantry
Despite the more than 400 agencies and programs that the NH Food Bank serves across the state, there remain many areas with high levels of need. Even in areas where agencies do provide assistance, clients may not always have access to food because many agencies have limited capacity, and can only by open certain hours or days of the week.
The Mobile Food Pantry program addresses this problem with inner-city food drops on a weekly basis (subject to availability of product). When funding is available, additional Mobile Food Pantry food drops are done in remote locations around the state in response to local need and as a means to distribute nutritious food, such as fresh produce, meats, dairy and canned or boxed items.
