NH Gives – Provide healthy meals for those most in need

Join Families in Transition-New Horizons (FIT-NHNH) in conjunction with NH Gives Day to combat hunger among homeless families in New Hampshire. Help us raise $10,000 to provide healthy meals to those most in need across the state of New Hampshire.  

NH Gives is a statewide 24-hour online fundraising event that builds community by connecting donors to local nonprofits, including us. From 6:00 p.m. on June 6 to 6:00 p.m. on June 7, help us raise funds to provide healthy and nutritious meals for those most in need across the state of NH.   

Did you know?

• Approximately 10% of men, women, and children in NH are food insecure. “Food insecure” is defined as lacking reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food.
• The Family Place Resource Center and Shelter, the only emergency family shelter in Manchester, provides 19 meals per week per person – that’s an average of 551 meals per week.
• Last year, the Family Place Resource Center served 31,488 meals to families in need.
• The New Horizons soup kitchen served 73,444 meals last year. This is the highest number of meals served by the soup kitchen in three years.
