Take Out Hunger expands across Seacoast to help Tri-City area
DOVER When the Take Out Hunger initiative began in mid-January, organizers saw it as a near-term solution for two problems facing Seacoast communities: food insecurity and restaurants struggling to stay in business through the winter months.
Take Out Hunger is a grassroots volunteer effort that raises funds to compensate local restaurants for preparing healthy meals that are then distributed through local nonprofits to people in the community who need them.
Within a month, Take Out Hunger has provided 4,000 meals across the area since its inception. Our goal is to support local restaurants and provide healthy meals to our neighbors in need, Helen Crowe, one of the founders of Take Out Hunger, said.
