Manchester City Library

We will be collecting canned and non-perishable food during the month of May to support the efforts of the New Hampshire Food Bank. Donations will be accepted at both the Main Library and the West Manchester Community Library.

The New Hampshire Food Bank distributes over 4 million pounds of donated, surplus food to over 350 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, day care centers, senior citizen homes and substance abuse treatment centers. These member agencies in turn provide services to the nearly 80,000 hungry men, women and children throughout New Hampshire.

Urgently needed items include:

• Protein items such as canned tuna or chicken and canned stews and pasta Peanut butter
• 100% juice boxes (no glass please)
• Canned fruits in light syrup, applesauce
• Canned vegetables, tomatoes and tomato sauce
• Soups
• Healthy cereals
