MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — The New Hampshire Food Bank has received an anonymous $1 million donation, most of it meant for its 430 partner agencies to help reduce costs.

The partner agencies include food pantries, soup kitchens, afterschool programs, senior centers and other nonprofit feeding programs.

Some of the money will support the food bank’s Culinary Job Training Program, which teaches unemployed or underemployed culinary skills. Other funds are going to support six mobile food panties.
