The NH Food Insecurity AmeriCorps Program is one of four pilot programs in the country. Partnering with Volunteer NH and the NH Food Bank, this program will place 20 AmeriCorps members in regional pockets of the state focused on food insecurity and meeting people’s basic needs. This focus area has only been amplified by the pandemic with more and more families experiencing food insecurity. See below for more information to apply to be an AmeriCorps member working on this project!
