In 2024, We Fed Thousands. This Year, Thousands More Are Counting on Us.

For more than 50 years, the Capital Region Food Program’s Holiday Project has brought nourishment and dignity to thousands of individuals, seniors, and families across Concord and 17 surrounding communities. Through grocery vouchers redeemable at local Market Basket stores, recipients can choose fresh, culturally meaningful foods that meet their unique needs—helping ease the strain of rising food prices, heating costs, and holiday expenses.

With food costs up more than 23% since 2020 and federal aid shrinking, more partners and members in your local community are turning to CRFP for support than ever before. Your donation ensures that no one faces hunger alone this winter. Every dollar helps us provide food vouchers, fill pantry shelves, and strengthen the network of community partners working year-round to reduce food insecurity across the Capital Region.

Donate to Reduce Hunger Across the Capital Region

About

For more than 50 years, the Capital Region Food Program (CRFP) has worked to help reduce food insecurity. Food insecurity impacts thousands across the Capital Region every day of the year. It affects seniors on fixed incomes, households working hard to make ends meet, and individuals who never expected to need help.

Through its two core programs, The Holiday Project and the Year Round Distribution Project, CRFP brings together volunteers, donors, and community partners to reduce hunger and strengthen the Capital Region by turning community resources into action that meet urgent food needs and create lasting change.

Serving Local Communities in NH

We currently serve the following 18 communities across the Capital Region, including:

Allenstown, Boscawen, Bow, Canterbury, Chichester, Concord, Contoocook, Dunbarton, Epsom, Hopkinton, Loudon, Pembroke, Penacook, Pittsfield, Salisbury, Suncook, Warner, and Webster.

A Legacy of Service

For nearly five decades, CRFP has evolved alongside the needs of our community. From the first Holiday Food Basket Project distribution in 1974 to the programs we provide today, our history reflects the dedication of volunteers, donors, and community partners who have carried our mission forward.
