SERVICE REQUESTED :…read more Free tapwater filled into 2 5gal jugs. *from outside spicket!!!! (due to being homeless in the summer with animals..) QUALITY OF SERVICE GIVEN : I won't say it was service cause it was anything but. This man was not only rude without reason, he enjoyed being mean and you could tell.. We are very quiet nice people my fiancé and I, we don't do anything but work and try to fix our situation because we don't enjoy being in it ..We are in an area where we have no access to water unless we go somewhere. so instead of going into a restaurant or business we chose a place that is supposed to aim at helping those in need. After being given permission by a person who claimed to be the "manager" of the NH food bank at the Manchester, NH East Industrial Park Drive location one night, after he had seen us going to fill up at night from an outside spicket in the parking lot *while the place was closed. We thought about it first and figured we actually felt like this would be the best place to do this cause they might actually be nice people like they claim to be in wanting to help people. However, after filling our water jugs a couple times per week for maybe a month (after hours so as to not bother anyone) which is when we got permission, we were approached by a man who said HE was the manager - alongside the man who had already claimed to be manager originally and were very rudely told "This is your last fillup you hear me? Go to the fire station!" In a very unwelcoming tone that actually startled us. when we stated we had permission, he quickly and abruptly snapped "no you don't!" Now, mind you - we've never been rude or stepped out of place with the food bank or any employees there, we had just politely requested water from an outside spicket cause it was summer and we were homeless at the time with animals.. I thought this place was supposed to care about those in need?? That was part of their mission was to serve the community. I didn't realize that only meant those who had money to donate & were not struggling. If this is what the donations pay for is for people to be extremely rude, judgemental, very unwelcoming, and to tell those in need that they weren't allowed to get free help from a place by means of FREE TAPWATER - Then the people donations dollars are definitely being wellspent, otherwise I know exactly where our money we are currently waiting to receive is NOT going. We will make sure it goes to places that actually help like they say they are doing and not the ones lying about it. Don't people like that realize It's hard enough to be struggling like this with nowhere to call home at night or to not be in a warm bed and feel safe?? Apparantly they don't care either. So to have a place that is supposed to help those in need turn you away for something of no cost to them even being that much of a necessity, and so rudely, I feel even more hopeless now more than ever... So thank you, and my animals that needed that water badly this afternoon say thanks as well The person running this place is mean and should not be in charge of a place like this at all.. I work two jobs my fiancé practically works around the clock and we drive a vehicle that frankly I thought would at least show people we try very hard to fix our situation and we have money just no home but this kind of thing shows me that the problem isn't hiding among the people struggling at all, it's in plain sight in the horrible ones who are running things! As long as that man runs that place it won't help anyone who needs it, I'd love to see where that money people donate under false pretense every year REALLY goes.!!

Then there are those real special catches of an herb plant or Depends, OR lovingly crocheted baby blankets, scarves, mittens..... and that's all in the front part They also have a thrift store, where u will find it hard to leave empty handed and a without a smile! The volunteers are as if it were what they were ment to be doing; they are soo busy and yet will 'stop' to answer you friendly as well as helpful. I would recommend The Share Fund to anyone I may meet or already know. Great, comfortable place to fulfill needs.

This is a an amazing food pantry for the local area. Unfortunately it is like other businesses in…read morethat the pandemic has changed it. More people need food than before...so I would consider donating to them if you are in a position to help them. They prepare a fully cooked meal on Wednesday evening for the community. Everything I've got from there, either prepared dinner or my groceries has been great, fresh and tasty. I used to be in the position to help them 2x a year. Now I need some groceries for myself. Hopefully I'll be back to helping them before too long. But I will say that I have never been treated "less than" when I pick up my groceries. Amazing program with kind, dedicated volunteers. If you are part of a company or community that wants to help give back, I **strongly** encourage you to sponsor a meal. Thank you so much for being there ONT!! You are making a huge difference in lives and spirits. I've never walked away feeling like I have failed and felt shamed.
