Jared Slinde joins It Takes Two with Amy and JJ, live from Big Iron, to talk about the $76,268.87 that Hornbacher’s donated. After a month long campaign that ran in their stores across the FM area called Check Out Hunger, the money raised is the highest monetary donation Hornbacher’s has made to the Great Plains Food Bank in the 25 years they have been running the fundraiser.
Oh yeah, after 25 years, Hornbacher’s has donated more than $500,000.00 in addition to the millions of pounds of food they have donated as well.
Hunger Action Month is a time when organizations like the Great Plains Food Bank aim to impact communities by sharing news about volunteerism, activate donors and educate the areas they serve. Jared mentioned that the Great Plains Food Bank works tirelessly during the entire year, but September is a month in which they work as part of a national group to help end hunger in the United States.
