At LISTEN, we know how hunger can impact our neighbors. It means that children cannot focus at school. It means that parents must make difficult choices like paying for unexpected car repairs or making sure that there is an option for their family’s next meal. And it means that others may also face further isolation, poor health, and even homelessness. For 50 years, LISTEN has been on the forefront of addressing these needs by providing nutritious community dinners in the Upper Valley. In the last year alone, we served over 36,388 meals; this is over double the number that were served just a decade ago. For anyone experiencing hunger in our area, a dinner meal is available Monday-Friday every week. Each day, about 150 meals are prepared and available on a first come, first-served basis. Please join us as we take a stand against hunger.
LISTEN COMMUNITY SERVICES
How We Help Our Upper Valley Community
Regardless of income, anyone in the Upper Valley who could use a free and nutritious meal is provided a three-course dinner every Monday- Friday.
Our neighbors who are experiencing financial stress can count on food assistance to help them to meet their other household expenses. All meals are free thanks to the generous contributions from caring neighbors across the Upper Valley.
The 150 meals provided each day contribute to improved health for community members who need regular and nutritious options.
Help make a difference in the Upper Valley
With food lines growing at both our Food Pantry and Dining Hall, we see the power of being there for our neighbors each day. So when Shawn, a father of three came to the dining hall, our mission was clear. Shawn had just lost his job at a local restaurant and he needed to ensure his children had a nutritious meal at the end of each day. He had no immediate income and was worried about feeding his kids yesterday and today, and frankly, until he could determine next steps for them. Shawn and his family have enjoyed “to go” dinners five nights a week while he has looked to secure another job.
