 Hello and welcome to what I know will be another exciting and productive year! In hoping for a productive year, I would like to inform you of the opportunity you, your peers, and the surrounding community will have to participate in the Help Hungry Kids Service Program. In participating in this service project, you will not only organize the resources of your schools and communities to meet individual goals, but will also be sharing in the greater goal of combating child hunger within communities all across New Hampshire.

Every year, the number of children in desperate need of food increases, and this coming year will be no exception. Close to 26,000 as of January 2011 (Children's Defense Fund) go hungry. It is not simply on holidays that kids find themselves hungry; many have to face the prospect everyday. The efforts that your student council will contribute in collecting donations of canned goods and funds to donate to local food pantries will be vital to tackling the problem.

I would like to encourage every school to try their hand at this program, even if you may have not done so previously. Whether large or small, each school can set a personal goal to make a difference. All of your contributions will help to further an extremely worthy cause. Every can or donation will be greatly appreciated and together can help to make an important impact.

Drives for donations and canned food may take place anytime between September 1, and April 1. These drives must take place within your school, but I encourage you to actively involve your student councils and the members of your community. A complete list of rules for the Help Hungry Kids Service Project is enclosed in this packet, which should give complete details regarding the program.

Once again, I would like to encourage all NHASC member schools to participate in this vital project. Together, your efforts really can make a difference! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me, and I look forward to hearing from all of you soon!

                                                                                                                                                                        Thank you,

Help Hungry Kids Chairperson
