New Hampshire Food Pantries Score a Touchdown

Over the weekend high schools throughout the Granite State took part in the NH Tackles Hunger campaign to raise donations to benefit local food pantries.

From all accounts it was a great weekend of schoolboy football and great success in collecting donations for the food pantries that help out families here in New Hampshire.

I was in attendance at the Exeter/Winnacunnet game on Saturday where it was reported that over 5 thousand non-perishable items were collected from those attending the game by the students.  It was a great example of two rivals on the field teaming up collaboratively to help folks out.

75 thousand pounds of food were collected over the first two years of the campaign  The students, their families and all that took part should be proud of their efforts for a great cause.
