McKeryn Bridge Foundation Teams Up with NH Food Bank
BEDFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE – The McKeryn Bridge Foundation, in cooperation with the New Hampshire Food Bank, will hold a Stuff-The-Truck event on Saturday, October 26, 2013, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Bedford residents, especially students, are being asked to bring non-perishable food items to Harvest Market on Rte. 101 in Bedford. Jr. “Ambassadors” from the foundation will be waiting to help people load the Food Banks’ special truck to support families who need help the most.
McKenzie Brown, a senior at Bedford High School and a Jr. Ambassador of McKeryn Bridge Foundation said, “We are asking Bedford’s families to be as generous as possible with their food contributions. Sometimes we take for granted that we can open a cabinet or refrigerator and there is food to eat. We forget that others might not have enough food on any given night. But there are many families that have to think about that every night. We should realize that this is a responsibility to help those less fortunate.”
The McKeryn Bridge provides aid to families in temporary financial hardship. The New Hampshire Food Bank is a vital distributor and supplier to the hunger relief agencies that serve meals and provide groceries to people experiencing the negative impacts of not having enough to eat. On average these agencies receive 40 percent of their food from the NH Food Bank.
