ABOUT NHN OF AMHERST COUNTY


NHN was established in the fall of 2015 and began serving meals in May 2016.

Selective Food Warehouse, providing our “guests” the opportunity to shop for their groceries was a goal that is now a reality.

Some other goals of NHN:


- Mobile Food Distribution to reach the rural areas of the county

- Resource Information Hub to connect those in need to other support organizations.


NHN of Amherst County has partnered with over 100 businesses, churches, and organizations to make the realty of food store/distribution center in Amherst County come true. NHN is expecting to receive over 90% of its funding from the community and will only exist based on the concern each individual has for his or her neighbor.


NHN’s existence will truly come from Neighbors Helping Neighbors.

"He that have a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth his bread to the poor."~Proverbs 22:9





OUR VISION
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. 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.
