North Country Hunger Project

The North Country Hunger Project (NCHP) focuses on combating food insecurity in the North Country region through data collection and community outreach. Our mission is to organize and distribute information about local charitable agencies and their services effectively. We actively engage with student organizations, churches, and community areas to promote awareness of hunger-related issues. Through creative information distribution via calendars, flyers, and blogs, we aim to connect those in need with invaluable resources. Join us in our efforts to create a more informed and supportive community.
