🎉 Another School Year in the Books! 🎉
As the school year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to reflect on what our incredible End 68 Hours of Hunger community accomplished together.

Because of the dedication of our volunteers, coordinators, donors, schools, and community partners, we provided nearly 27,000 hunger-free weekends for children facing food insecurity this school year. That translates to an astounding 1,861,552 meals delivered to children who might otherwise have gone without food between Friday lunch and Monday breakfast.

These numbers represent more than meals—they represent children who were better able to learn, grow, and thrive because their basic needs were met. Thank you to everyone who packed bags, donated food, made financial contributions, organized food drives, delivered supplies, and supported our mission. You are making a meaningful difference in the lives of thousands of children and families.

A huge thank you to the amazing 4-H youth, volunteers, families, and organizers who partnered with End 68 Hours of Hunger for the 4-H Day of Service and 6.8 Miles for End 68 event.

Because of your energy and commitment to helping others, we were able to raise awareness about childhood hunger and collect food to support local children who rely on our weekend food bag program.

We are especially grateful for the partnership with UNH Cooperative Extension 4-H (Kristen Lyons) and everyone who worked behind the scenes to make this event such a success.
