CONWAY â During its mobile food pantry held in Conway Village last Thursday, New Hampshire Food Bank saw a record volunteer turnout to help load food boxes into cars.Â
The food giveaway took place from noon-2 p.m. on Feb. 25 at the Ham Ice Arena located 87 West Main St.
According to Food Bank Systems Coordinator Christy Langlois, the typical volunteer contingent is about 16 at the various locations the food bank travels to across the state. Conway Village's turnout was over twice that number, at 34.
Volunteers from many area civic organizations participated. They included Granite United Way, Carroll County Coalition for Public Health, Knights of Columbus, Madison Food Pantry, Conway Area and Whittier Lions Clubs, Tri-County Community Action Homeless Outreach, North Conway Rotary Club, White Mountain Milers, Agape Ministries, White Horse Recovery and the Tamworth Community Food Center.
