Food Insecurity
Addressing Food Insecurity in Belmont & Canterbury
In the picturesque towns of Belmont and Canterbury, New Hampshire, lies a community bonded by shared values and a commitment to caring for one another. With over 1,165 children in our local school systems, it's alarming that approximately 27% rely on free and reduced-price lunch programs. This staggering statistic is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities facing families.
