NH food pantries have less food and greater demand

New Hampshire Food Bank officials say summers often are tough as people focus more on vacations than donations. [...] many of the 400 soup kitchens and food pantries the organization helps supply say they are seeing a 40 percent increase in the demand for food, according to development director Colleen Cowette. Barbara Chellis, Concord area director for the Belknap/Merrimack Community Action program, said New Hampshire Motor Speedway recently gave them an abundance of hamburger and hot dog rolls. Poulin said she recently placed an order with the U.S. Department of Agriculture ? which helps stock many food pantries and soup kitchens ? and got half of what she requested. Food pantry directors say they are in desperate need of peanut butter, canned meats, rice, pasta, soup and canned fruits and vegetables.
