“We ended up coming up with $125 of our own money and $75  donated from one of our customers, and we launched the Feed the Kids program. We make dinnertime meals for the kids, and knowing what they like from working at the school, this was like a no-brainer. So, we could give them nutritional meals that included their dairy, their protein, their vegetables, and a fruit, plus a snack for later, because everybody needs a snack for later,” said Smith

With no fanfare and only his wife there to see him off, Matty Gregg began an epic project this morning. Starting on the Massachusetts border at the southern edge of the Pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua he ran the first steps of his 8 day 230 mile journey to help fight hunger in New Hampshire.

He is running the equivalent of a marathon a day to reach the Canadian border in Pittsburg NH to raise awareness of food insecurity in NH and to raise funds for NH Hunger Solutions (NHHS). This is a man on a mission.

He does not just run for pleasure or competition.  He often runs to effect positive change. In 2018 he ran the 5,425 miles from California to New Hampshire to support the Firefighter Cancer Support Network. He has raised over $600,000 for charitable causes with his runs.

On Thursday morning he will step into his running shoes once again and depart Nashua on his next charity run. Gregg will begin an 8-day 230-mile run from Nashua to Pittsburgh, NH to support  NH Hunger Solutions (NHHS).
