Our community is facing the greatest hunger crisis in a generation. Over 600,000 people in our region do not have enough food to eat. That's one out of every seven neighbors we run into at the grocery store, school, or the doctor’s office. Every dollar donated to the March MEALness challenge funds three meals for neighbors struggling to put food on the table right now.
Help carry your team — and our community — to a big win in 2026!
