Since 1984, the New Hampshire Food Bank, a program of New Hampshire Catholic Charities, has provided food to qualified nonprofit programs serving the hungry throughout New Hampshire.
 A certified affiliate of Feeding America, the Nations' Food Bank Network, the New Hampshire Food Bank is the only food warehouse distribution center in the state.
The New Hampshire Food Bank receives food from Feeding America, grocery stores, wholesalers, farmers and individuals. Each year, close to 5 million pounds of donated and surplus food is distributed to nearly 350 pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, day care centers, senior citizen homes, and substance abuse treatment centers across the state.

Start with a dedication to help people become self-sufficient. Add a skilled chef, a job training course, and mix in a community garden. Simmer with nutritional education classes, fresh rescue programs, and a new industrial kitchen built with the support of donors and local businesses – and you’ve got a Recipe for Success!

Recipe for Success Delivers Meals to Boys
and Girls Club |
Recipe for Success is the New Hampshire Food Bank’s newest approach to fighting hunger at the root causes. This four-part program combines job training, nutrition education, fresh rescue, and a community garden to help serve people in our community who are at risk of hunger. It’s just another way that the Food Bank, a program of New Hampshire Catholic Charities, is changing lives across the state.
Food banks have always functioned as part of the emergency food system; however, in recent years people who are unemployed and underemployed in the community are having a difficult time meeting their basic needs and are experiencing chronic hunger. The New Hampshire Food Bank is responding by offering innovative programs that empower people to become more food self-reliant. Recipe for Success works to teach people employable job skills, nutrition education to help their families, and open up access to fresh vegetables and healthy meats.
The newly-constructed commercial kitchen hosts the culinary job training program, which consists of providing an eight week culinary skills curriculum. Trainees in the job training program are required to attend full time, and the kitchen can accommodate ten students and a chef trainer. Recipe for Success students learn the basics of working in a full-size commercial kitchen, while preparing and cooking daily meals that are distributed at agencies in the community.
