FEED Kearsarge hosts successful 1st Annual Food Security Summit!
It was deeply heartening to see the Kearsarge community come together so strongly on Saturday, April 18th, for FEED Kearsarge’s very first Food Security Summit!
At Kearsarge Regional High School, 120 attendees representing over 40 businesses and organizations—including farms, food pantries, healthcare and social services, education, land use and conservation, and policy and advocacy —gathered to tackle a vital question:

A Crisis of Food Affordability
FEED Kearsarge is a local coalition working to solve this problem together—and you can help.
Last fall we faced temporary lapse in SNAP benefits from the government shutdown, affecting 76,000 residents in New Hampshire.

FEED Kearsarge is a local coalition working to solve this problem together—and you can help.
Whether or not neighbors have enough food to eat is not a partisan issue. Access to food is a basic human right and food security is a matter of local and national security; when neighbors are hungry, entire communities suffer. This is not some problem “out there”— people face hunger every day right here in the Kearsarge region.
The truth is, many people are doing everything they can to make ends meet but the math just isn’t adding up as the cost of living rises across the board.
