The Family Table Project is honored to receive a $5,000 community grant from Citizens Bank in support of local food access initiatives across Southwestern New Hampshire. This investment strengthens our neighborhood-based micro-distribution efforts, ensuring children and families have consistent access to nutritious food within trusted community spaces. Together, we are building a more connected and resilient community where dignity and care remain at the center of our work.

What began as a quiet visit for groceries became something far more meaningful for Maria. Through trusted relationships and community-embedded support, emergency food assistance opened the door to stability, connection, and renewed confidence. “I thought I needed food,” she reflected, “but what I found was a community that walked with me.”

Scott Masters brings more than a decade of community-centered leadership to The Family Table Project, emphasizing dignity, partnership, and sustainable growth. “When we respond to food insecurity with relationship,” he shared, “we build trust—and trust opens the door to lasting resilience.”

By placing small distribution hubs inside trusted community spaces, The Family Table Project reduces barriers and strengthens relationships at the neighborhood level. What begins as access to food often becomes an entry point to deeper connection, tailored support, and long-term stability.
