Another (& perhaps one of the oddest ever) reason to party: On Sunday, Dec. 13, musician Gary Sredzienski of the Serfs will swim five miles along the York River to the ocean to raise money to help end childhood hunger. When he gets out of the water, he will join his band and put on a Serfs holiday show at The Stage Ne...ck Inn in York Harbor. Please join us there, & fan http://www.facebook.com/pages/Garys-Swim

The editorial in today's Portsmouth Herald sheds more light on the issue of hunger in our region. It's a follow-up to an article about a child who came to school with just a hamburger bun for lunch. Teachers and federal programs try to help hungry kids every day. Let's continue to back them up, and work to end the problem. http://www.seacoastonline.com/articles/2

Today, President Obama spoke to a classroom of children about how to succeed in school, and overcoming challenges was an important part of that conversation. Unfortunately, for many kids in America, hunger and limited access to nutritious food are daily challenges. Together we can change that.

Why childhood hunger? Hunger impairs our children's health in significant and long-lasting ways, including physical and mental development.
