Food Resource Guide

(Click link to open web page version)

As part of Connections for Health's response to COVID-19, we created a user-friendly Food Resource Guide with information on 73 food providers across our region. Using data provided by UNH Cooperative Extension in its online NH Food Access Map, the index of the Food Resource Guide includes for each provider the days and hours of operation, food offered, availability of delivery and pick-up, location, and contact information.

For each of the three region's sub-divisions (Strafford County, seacoast Rockingham County, and central Rockingham County) there is also a calendar that makes it easy to see where and when people can find resources each day of the week.  Also in the guide is a link to an interactive Google Map of all organizations listed so directions to any are easily located.

The information in this guide is subject to change; please contact food providers directly for current information.
