End 68 Hrs of Hunger Alton/Barnstead/Pittsfield NH

Directions Website

We serve the towns of Alton, Barnstead & Pittsfield NH. There are more than 16 million food insecure children in America today.

End 68 hours of hunger is designed to provide children with easy to prepare beneficial and healthy meals for the time period of the 68 hours they are not in school on weekends. The Problem
Childhood food insecurity is a national problem, it occurs when children receive insufficient food on a regular basis; in many cases missing meals entirely. After a while, these children also experience “fear of hunger” that affects their behavior as much as physical hunger affects their bodies.

Suncook Valley Rotary donates Fridge and Freezer to End 68 Hours of Hunger!

Recently Our End 68 Hours of Hunger Pittsfield Team moved to a new location at 23 Oneida St. This location offers the opportunity to have a fridge and freezer to store Frozen and fresh food to offer to our families. Our team reached out to the community and the Suncook Valley Rotary stepped up and purchased us the fridge and freezer! We are beyond grateful for this offering. We will now provide more options for fresh and frozen food including meats to our struggling families.

Please join us in thanking the Suncook Valley Rotary for supporting our program over the last several years. Every year they send us donations and provide support of our needs. They are truly a community partner in supporting business and organizations. For more information about the Suncook Rotary Club, please email [email protected].

Our program is truly blessed, not only with the volunteers who help every day, but, also the community support in all three towns Alton, Barnstead, Pittsfield. They step up to support the food drives, monthly monetary donations, holiday turkeys, gift cards and the coat and boot drive. Without all of these folks, we could not do what we do best! Supporting our local families! Thank you!

For immediate release November 2026 End 68 Hours of Hunger is growing!

Recently we met with Pittsfield School District and was approved to utilize available space in the SAU building at 23 Oneida St. We have been utilizing space offered to us at 7 Fayette St. in Pittsfield by the Head Start program for Barnstead and Pittsfield families. Because of the growth of families in our program we have been extremely cramped. This new space will allow our program to function more efficiently and also allow our teams, at each location, to focus on families.

We are also very excited to announce our new teams for each location. At Alton Central School we have Team Alton: Kelly Senter and Sara Towers.
At 7 Fayette St. Pittsfield, Team Barnstead: Leah Whitney and Katie Maguire.
At 23 Oneida St Pittsfield, Team Pittsfield: Mary Paradise and Becky Berk. We also have our Shoppers Sara H. and special mission folks Amy Beck and her grandson Trevor.

Our teams will be focusing on meal planning, local fundraising in each of their communities and effective communication with our schools and social workers to better support our families.

Without the volunteer support of all of these folks including the packers, drivers and organizations and individuals who send us weekly, monthly food donations via the Amazon Wishlist and more, we could not do what we do best! Supporting our local families! Thank you!
