Recent research conducted by the University of New Hampshire's Michael Kurtz, Karen Conway, and Robert Mohr and published by the Carsey School of Public Policy found that 'Backpack' food programs for children result in higher math and reading test scores. The Conway Daily Sun noted this data and how a local non-profit, End 68 Hours of Hunger, works to support children with food especially over the weekends.
