This document is created by the City of Manchester Health Department: The purpose of this Food Resource Guide is to provide residents, community organizations, and City Departments with contact information for agencies that are providing food assistance and related resources for individuals and families in need. This Food Resource Guide is not intended to be an exhaustive list of services but rather a quick reference to complement other resource information available from other local, city or state sources.

Media Power Youth is hosting two media camps this summer where youth can experience the art of filmmaking while exploring nature, science, and making new friends. These camps provide a unique, creative challenge for youth ages 10 to 14 and are hosted in partnership with the SEE Science Center and the NH Audubon Massabesic Center. Media Power Youth’s filmmaking experiences give young people the opportunity to define a creative idea and bring it to life with a film crew. Each camper will try their hand at a variety of video production techniques, including directing, scriptwriting, filming, and editing. Campers will also engage in animal encounters, hikes, prop making, and many other interactive activities. Weekly sessions start on July 8th and run through August 2nd.
