About Us
Our system of food and nutrition supports is like a power grid that moves healthy food through communities to schools and households
In New Hampshire, the grid is well-developed in some areas and patchy, or non-existent in others
Our Mission
We advocate to end food insecurity, improve equitable access to nutritious food, and address hunger’s root causes for all New Hampshire residents.
Our Vision
A New Hampshire where no one is hungry.
Our History
NH Hunger Solutions was established in 2017 by child nutrition champion Elaine VanDyke. What started as a grassroots initiative to expand access to school breakfasts and summer meals for children became an organization dedicated to changing the structural systems that allow food insecurity to persist.
In 2020, now-Executive Director Laura Milliken conducted a landscape assessment and learned that while many organizations were doing important work providing direct food aid, no organization was dedicated to addressing hunger through systemic change.
By working to change these systems through advocacy and policy change, NH Hunger Solutions strives to ensure that every New Hampshire household has access to the food they need to thrive.
