Salem High Football Aims to Tackle Hunger this Weekend

Hundreds of Granite State families and thousands of local youth are struggling to meet their daily nutrition and dietary needs each day, and this weekend, local high school football programs will do their part to sack the state's ongoing hunger problem.
