The state has announced a $2 million emergency plan to expand the New Hampshire Food Bank’s mobile pantry program and strengthen local food pantries. This will help fill some of the gap but will not replace normal SNAP benefits.

Meeting for Worship is a time of quiet listening to the inner voice of spirit, God, the Light within –whatever term one uses—in community with others. We sit largely in silence for an hour; friends who are deeply moved to share an insight may rise and do so. Most Sundays, a very brief reading is offered reflecting Quaker values or history, which may provide a common focus for reflection. After the meeting, friends share individual reflections and announcements with each other.
