NH Food Bank Reports Child Food Insecurity Has Increased by More Than 6% in the Last Year

A new report from Feeding America highlights a concerning rise in food insecurity across New Hampshire, particularly among children. According to the 2026 Map the Meal Gap study, child food insecurity increased by 6% year-over-year, climbing from 36,160 children in the 2025 report to 38,430 this year.

The overall food insecurity rate has also grown, with the latest data showing 11.2% of all New Hampshire residents lack consistent access to adequate food, up from 10.7% in the previous report. In response to these rising numbers, the New Hampshire Food Bank, a program of Catholic Charities New Hampshire, is urging Granite Staters to act and help support the local families who do not know where their next meal will come from.

In 2025, the New Hampshire Food Bank distributed more than 20 million pounds of food to its more than 400 partner agencies statewide. In addition to distributing food to all corners of the state, the New Hampshire Food Bank provides an array of programming designed to address the root causes of hunger, including Culinary Job Training, Mobile Food Pantries, NH Feeding NH, the Nutrition Pantry Program, and SNAP Outreach and Application Assistance, among many others.

You can help the NH Food Bank by donating at their website: https://nhfoodbank.org/get-involved/donate/
