There’s good news for struggling New Hampshire families who sometimes struggle to adequately feed their children when state schools are out of session.
On Friday state representatives narrowly passed a measure that provides $1.1 million to fund a state-sponsored summer food-assistance fund.
The measure reportedly allocates funding sufficient to set up and administer the program for two years.
Officials say benefits will be based on pre-tax annual household income.
