CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The New Hampshire Food Bank is hosting 10 drive-through mobile food pantries over the next two weeks aimed at addressing growing need because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The food bank will bring truckloads of food to be distributed to individuals and families in their vehicles. The first ones are scheduled for Tuesday in Claremont and Laconia. Mobile food pantries also will be in Colebrook, Gorham, Manchester, and Center Ossipee.  Also, an annual ice castle attraction in North Woodstock is returning in January, but with some changes. It will operate at a reduced capacity to promote social distancing. All tunnels and crawl spaces will be marked as one-way features. Staff and guests will be required to wear masks.
