DURHAM — Weekend backpack food programs result in improvements to end-of-grade reading and math scores for economically disadvantaged primary school students, according to new research released by the Carsey School of Public Policy at the University of New Hampshire.

In Conway, the local chapter of the non-profit End 68 Hours of Hunger works to ensure that all local students have food to eat over the weekend (More on the organization can be found at tinyurl.com/bc4fsj9u).
