End 68 Hours of Hunger is a program that seeks to address food insecurity for school aged children during the 68 hours over the weekend between school meals. 

 

A local branch, less than 10 minutes from our school, is fully serviced by volunteers who collect, sort, shelve, pack, and deliver food every week to local schools throughout the school year.
