Hunger is a reality for many families. Realizing this and thinking of those less fortunate the New Hampshire Young Farmer Committee donated a locally raised 4-H lamb to the NH Food Bank last week.

Food pantries across the New Hampshire are experiencing record numbers of people needing food for their families. With that in mind, the NH Farm Bureau Federation Young Farmer Committee wanted to help out those in need as well as a local 4-Her.

Many Young Farmers were 4-H members themselves at one time and know the great value in the program. Arrangements were made to purchase a market lamb at the Hillsboro County 4-H Market Lamb Sale on September 13. The lamb will be donated to the NH Food Bank in Manchester were it will be distributed across the state. For more information about this project, follow this link.
