Welcome to Neighbors Helping Neighbors of Amherst County, Inc (NHN) where our primary focus is to assist individuals in overcoming food insecurity by providing nutritious meals through food kitchens and selective shopping Food Warehouse. On May 5th, 2016, we started serving nutritious lunch meals to anyone who has a need for a meal that day during lunchtime. NHN Volunteers prep and serve lunches twice a week.

​

In addition to assisting with food insecurity, NHN will serve as a resource hub that helps to connect those in need to area resources that can help build self-sufficiency and improve their quality of life.

A disproportionate amount of Amherst County citizens live in poverty compared to those who are considered upper-middle and high socio-economic status. Of those citizens, an even higher percentage are children.

According to feedingamerica.org, a non-profit that provides relief to families via Food Banks across the United States, one in every seven Americans deals with hunger on a daily basis. Amherst County is not immune. Some 15% of the county lives below the national poverty line, and 20% of those individuals are children. Our organization was born to help alleviate that need.

NHN of Amherst County, Inc. has many faces but we need more- want to get involved?
