**Help Fight Food Insecurity: Join the KARE 11 Food Fight! 🍎🥫**
Did you know that some families in Minnesota are having a hard time getting enough food? In fact, 1 in 5 households are struggling. That's a lot of people! This is called food insecurity, and it's a big problem.
To help solve this, KARE 11, The Salvation Army, and Cub Foods are working together. They're running a big campaign called the "Food Fight" from March 1 to March 26. Their goal is to get food to families in need.
So, how can you help? Here are some fun and easy ways!
**1. Donate Non-Perishable Food Items:**
You can drop off food like canned veggies, pasta, and cereal at places like Warner Stellian, Slumberland, and Blaze Credit Union. These foods don't spoil quickly, so they make sure families have meals for a longer time. 🥫
**2. Round Up Your Dollars at Cub Foods:**
When you shop at Cub Foods, you can "round up" your total at checkout. This means if your groceries cost $9.50, you can round it up to $10, and that extra 50 cents goes to help buy food for families. It might not sound like much, but it adds up fast!
**3. Join the "Food Fight":**
You can support by donating to your favorite KARE 11 anchor's team. This is a fun way to cheer on your favorite news anchors while also helping others.
**4. Host Your Own Food Drive:**
Why not get your friends and family involved by hosting your very own food drive? Collect food from your neighborhood or school and spread the awareness. The more, the merrier! 🎉
**5. Donate Cash:**
Every dollar counts! Did you know that for just $1, three pounds of food can be bought? This can make up 2 meals. Just imagine how many people we can help if everyone pitches in a little!
The food collected from this campaign will be shared with 9 different food shelves around the Twin Cities. This means that lots of families all over the area will feel the love and care from everyone’s efforts.
It's so important for everyone in the community to come together. By joining the Food Fight, you’re doing something amazing. Not only are you helping to fill empty tummies, but you're also giving hope to many families during tough times. And that makes YOU a hero! 🌟
Let's make sure that everyone has enough to eat.
Will you join the fight? Let's work together to make a difference. 💪
