What Nh Hunger Solutions does

NH Hunger Solutions is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit advocacy organization (EIN 22-2936618) headquartered at 100 N Main Street, Suite 400, Concord, New Hampshire, founded around 2017 and operating with 1-10 employees. The organization's stated mission is to end hunger in New Hampshire by building and maintaining the state's food and nutrition "power grid," ensuring that policies, schools, and community partners coordinate to move healthy food to households in need. It frames its work around closing the gap between residents eligible for federal nutrition programs and those actually enrolled, particularly SNAP and school meal programs, given that New Hampshire has one of the lowest SNAP enrollment rates in the country and ranks 46th nationally in school breakfast participation. NH Hunger Solutions serves food-insecure New Hampshire residents — including nearly 10% of state residents, 13.4% of children, and 27% of older adults experiencing food insufficiency — through a portfolio of programs rather than a single technology platform.

The organization's core product offerings are programmatic and advocacy-oriented rather than technology-based. Its flagship initiative is the evidence-based School Breakfast Challenge, which helps NH schools and districts implement the Breakfast After the Bell model using Grab and Go carts or Breakfast in the Classroom. Additional programs include SNAP enrollment assistance and advocacy outreach, hunger data tracking dashboards monitoring food insufficiency and program participation, a Summer Meals Finder tool, and the Share Your SNAP Story grassroots storytelling campaign. The organization also coordinates or supports 11 regional food access coalitions spanning Greater Nashua, Manchester, Derry, Capital Area, Lakes Region, Carroll County, Monadnock, Strafford County, Upper Valley, North Country, and Greater Sullivan, in partnership with entities including the NH Department of Health and Human Services, NH Food Bank Mobile Food Pantry, Granite United Way, and Partnership for Public Health. Leadership comprises Executive Director Laura Milliken, Director of Communications and Grassroots Policy Fionn Shea, Child Nutrition Manager Tricia Labelle, and Coalition Contact Johane Telgener.

The business model is that of a public charity rather than a revenue-generating enterprise. Funding derives from individual donations and grants from foundations and government agencies, with the organization explicitly not selling products or services. Distribution is through coalition networks, schools, state agencies, and community organizations, and go-to-market is community-led via advocacy alerts, story-sharing campaigns, coalition building, and direct engagement with state and federal policymakers. A notable environmental risk is the H.R. 1 federal reconciliation law, which under New Hampshire's 8.85% FY 2025 SNAP payment error rate would impose an estimated $15 million annual cost-share penalty on the state starting FY 2028, potentially reducing SNAP benefit capacity for the very residents the organization serves and elevating the strategic importance of its policy advocacy work.
