Drive-Through Food Pantry Event Coming to Claremont

The New Hampshire Food Bank will be hosting a drive-through mobile food pantry locally this week, reports Manchester Ink Link.

The NH Food Bank, which is a program of Catholic Charities NH, has hosted 28 drive-through pantries since March in an effort to assist citizens during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The charity estimates that an additional 71,000 NH citizens are now food insecure due to the pandemic.

The upcoming mobile food pantry will take place in Claremont as part of a three-stop tour through the Granite State this week.

Truckloads of food will be distributed to individuals and their families in their vehicles from 11 AM to 1 PM this Thursday, October 15th, at Claremont’s Monadnock Park.
