            [0] => According to a 2023 report by Feeding America, a staggering 13.4% of children in New Hampshire experience food insecurity, a significant increase from 8.5% just a year prior. This means that more than 1 in 8 children in our state aren't sure where their next meal will come from. This lack of consistent, nutritious food can have a lasting impact on a child's health, development, and ability to learn.

Founded in New Hampshire in 2011, End 68 Hours of Hunger has become a lifeline for families facing weekend hunger. The program provides children with nutritionally balanced food bags containing breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, ensuring they return to school on Monday nourished and ready to learn. The local ConVal SAU chapter, approaching its 9th anniversary this January, is a testament to the program's enduring impact and the community's commitment.

During the peak of the pandemic, this number surged to 350 bags per week. Since its inception, the ConVal chapter has distributed an impressive 52,000 bags of food, demonstrating the program's sustained impact on the community.

Infographic showing a stylized fork with two children holding hands inside a circle with a heart symbol. Text reads: 165-200 kids each week. Bags valued approx $15-18/bag. Equals $16,500 worth of food distributed per month"During the pandemic, we were so isolated," shared one grateful parent. "Receiving that bag of food every week made us feel like we were more connected, that someone in our community still cared that my kids were fed."
