Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
DG Eats (www.dgeats.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to helping
\nhungry people in need, is excited to announce its new initiative to support
\nlocal food pantries on the South Shore of Massachusetts.
\nRecognizing the growing need for food security in the region, DG Eats was
\nstarted in 2023 by a local Hanover High Schooler, Abram (Abe) Dehner. Abe
\nhas always been moved by the fact that not everyone has access to good food
\nevery day. He wants this for everyone because he believes it will empower
\nmore people to lead healthier and fulfilling lives.<\/p>\n
Starting with research about nutrition as well as what food distribution
\noptions exist in his own community on the South Shore of Massachusetts, Abe
\nis now sharing information on the matter, as well as collecting
\nnon-perishable food donations for distribution to partner food pantries in
\nthe region. Local food pantries play a crucial role in providing essential
\nnutritional assistance to families and individuals struggling with hunger.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt DG Eats, we are committed to fostering a healthy and vibrant
\ncommunity,\u201d says Abram Dehner, founder of DG Eats. \u201cFood insecurity is
\na serious issue and with the cost of living continuing to rise, more people
\nin our communities need help to access nutritious meals. Through this new
\ninitiative, I hope to make a positive impact and alleviate hunger for more
\nfamilies in our local neighborhoods.\u201d<\/p>\n
How to donate:
\nThe public is encouraged to donate non-perishable food items to DG Eats.
