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.
This is a working document. The goal is to update the Food Resource Guide annually with new, updated or previously unlisted services. The Guide will be posted on the Manchester Health Department’s website at www.manchesternh.gov/health.
