MANCHESTER, N.H. —
Belletetes, a lumber and building supply company, delivered a big donation to the New Hampshire Food Bank on Thursday, filling three box trucks.
The company held a month-long food drive in August, along with other lumber companies.
The delivery included 29,483 pounds of food and financial contributions, which will provide about 24,570 meals for people across the state.

"There are about one in nine people in New Hampshire who are food insecure, one in seven are children 18 and under. So, the need is definitely there and we're seeing the need increase. This will be a big help," said Nancy Millette of the New Hampshire Food Bank.
The donation was made in honor of Hunger Action Month.
