Recently we’ve received concerns from community members regarding food insecurity and limited access to important supplies and services. In an effort to address this growing concern and to remove barriers that could be prohibiting residents from much needed services, the Derry Parks & Recreation Department has compiled a list of community supports. Our department has been in contact with each of the following services to ensure availability and access to our Derry residents. We will continue to keep this list updated and posted on our website at www.derrynh.org/parks-recreation
