Slavin, Stankoven issue call to back our hometown team by supporting meals for families during Championship run
With the Championship Series underway, home team stars are calling on hockey fans to take action in Carolina’s ‘Goal to End Hunger’ challenge.
Launched this week in support of the Food Bank network, center Logan Stankoven and defenseman Jaccob Slavin are urging fans to help beat food insecurity with a donation to the state’s largest hunger relief network. Every dollar raised provides three meals for children, seniors, veterans, and working families struggling to keep food on the table as the cost of living continues to rise in the region.
Take A Shot: Give Today– Jaccob Slavin Canes DefensemanI’m inviting hockey fans to team up with the Food Bank for the ‘Goal to End Hunger’ challenge. Donate now to help show Vegas what Carolina can do.
The ‘Goal to End Hunger’ challenge comes as hunger has reached its highest point in a generation – with more families facing food insecurity today than the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Today, more than 1.6 million people across North Carolina don’t know where their next meal might come from – a staggering 1 in 7 people statewide. With the rising cost of food, housing, and gas affecting so many of our neighbors, Slavin and Stankoven are encouraging fans and supporters to rally behind the team by donating to the Food Bank throughout the championship matchup.
