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.
