Their donations are drying up because they get lots of free food from supermarkets and others that have excess. The empty shelves that we've seen are reflective of excess food in the food chain drying up. Also, shrinking incomes and stock portfolios leave many cash donors with less to give.

So they are squeezed at both ends. If you'd like to make a donation, here's a link: https://www.gbfb.org/

Thank you. I went to their site, I wish they had a paypal option. I find it to be more secure and easier. There is a food pantry in Moultonborough that I just donated to https://www.foodpantries.org/ci/nh-moultonborough
