The New Hampshire Food Bank, a program of Catholic Charities New Hampshire, is intensifying its fundraising efforts to address the anticipated statewide rise in food insecurity as the federal government shutdown persists. With the shutdown directly impacting funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a federal program providing monthly benefits to households to help them purchase food, the New Hampshire Food Bank is amplifying both its fundraising and its programming to ensure families and individuals have access to the food and resources they need. The New Hampshire Food Bank has already increased food distribution by 26% year-over-year to meet the growing demand.

We’re in the final days of this year’s municipal election cycle, and at Tuesday night’s mayoral debate, Mayor Ruais made several claims about his record that caught my attention. Most were technically true, but as an Alderman with a front-row seat at City Hall, I know much of what he touts is loaded with nuance.
