Merrimack County Navigator Program

For anyone needing help working through social service systems, the Merrimack County Navigators are at the food pantry the first Thursday of every month from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.

Who They Help: Families, elders, those unhoused or at risk of losing housing, victims of abuse, people with developmental disabilities and those in need of support for substance use disorders.

How They Help:  The Navigator meets with you in-person at the food pantry, listens to your concerns and schedules a time when you can come to the county office on 163 North Main Street in Concord to figure out strategies and next steps.  All services are free.

What They Do: Find resources based on needs, food insecurity, substance misuse and/or mental health, long term care, employment services, applying for DHHS (Medicaid, SNAP, APTD, Cash Assistance& more), social security, fuel/electric assistance, case management, and more!

What They Don’t Do:  Provide legal advice or counseling, transportation, monetary assistance, clinical services, hoarding cleanup. While we don’t offer these services, we can assist you in getting connected to these resources where available.

— St. Teresa of Avila
