As of early 2026, food insecurity in New Hampshire is on the rise, reaching its highest rate since 2015-2017. This crisis affects 1 in 9 adults and 1 in 7 children. The increase is primarily driven by high living costs, reduced assistance from the pandemic era, and cuts in federal SNAP benefits.
Join the United Way of Greater Nashua in helping local families access the food, hygiene products, and support resources they need to get by.
**HOW CAN YOU DONATE?**&nbsp;&nbsp;
Every Saturday from 10 AM to 1 PM (April thru December) and 12 PM to 3 PM (January thru March), volunteers from all backgrounds come together to collect donations of food and hygiene items from shoppers at local supermarkets. The donations gathered are distributed to local food pantries each week.
Food Drives and locations are subject to change, but below are the locations:
<ul><li>Hannaford, Hudson - First Saturday of each month</li><li>Hannaford, Nashua - Second Saturday of each month</li><li>Shaw's Main Street, Nashua - Third Saturday of each month</li><li>Walmart, Amherst - Fourth Saturday of each month</li></ul>
**INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING?**&nbsp;&nbsp;
During the Food Drive, volunteers distribute flyers to interested shoppers, listing needed items in the hope that they will purchase additional products to donate. Volunteers will set up at one or two store entrances, depending on how many people register to help on a particular day. You can choose to only volunteer on one weekend or on many.

** NEED FOOD ASSISTANCE?**
Donations from the local Food Drives are given to local food pantries each week. Pantries receiving donations include Nashua Soup Kitchen and Shelter, the Salvation Army, Corpus Christi Food Pantry, End 68 Hours of Hunger, St. Joseph Hospital Employee Food Pantry, among others. Before visiting a pantry, please check its hours.

Apis Law | Personal Injury Attorney

Attorney Keith F. Diaz founded Apis Law, PLLC to fight for injured people across New Hampshire. With 22 years of legal experience, Attorney Diaz represents individuals and families who suffer injuries due to someone else's negligence — and he works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless he wins your case. Our practice handles car accidents, truck and motorcycle crashes, slip-and-fall injuries, dog bites, wrongful death, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, and workplace injuries. We also take on employment law matters including wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, and sexual harassment. Attorney Diaz holds admission to practice in the State of New Hampshire (Bar No. 15831), the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire, and the First Circuit Court of Appeals. He founded Apis Law in 2022 because he believes injured people in New Hampshire deserved an attorney who will fight for them with the same resources and intensity that insurance companies bring to the other side. From two offices in Goffstown and Bedford, Apis Law serves clients throughout southern New Hampshire including Concord, Manchester, Nashua, Amherst, Hooksett, and surrounding communities. When you get hurt, the insurance company assigns a team to minimize your payout. Apis Law fights back. Call (603) 785-1013 for a free consultation.
