Congratulations 2012 Governor's Cup Winners

Even in the world’s wealthiest nation, over 50 million people deal with hunger. It is a universal problem regardless of where you live. Like every other state in the country, New Jersey has its challenges when it comes to this issue. Although hunger can be found in virtually every county of our state, it doesn’t mean action can’t be taken to fight it.

Students Change Hunger provides the platform for students of all ages to combat hunger throughout the state. Schools are categorized by the size of the student population. The schools then compete with each other to collect as much food as possible for their local food bank. At the end of the challenge, the schools that bring in the most food will be presented with awards by their local food bank.

Each of the state’s five food banks will also nominate five schools from their area to compete for the competition’s most coveted award, the Governor's Cup. The criteria will be based on the weight donated, but also on school spirit and active participation throughout the competition.

Every donation makes a difference, so we hope you will join us in this fun and exciting challenge!
