Easy and Fun Ways to Fight Hunger This Spring

Local businesses are stepping up in big ways this spring with promotional opportunities that give you a chance to make a difference right in your own neighborhood. Below are two of many campaigns that are working to raise funds for Second Harvest Heartland and our hunger-relief efforts. Consider participating in one of these, or start your own campaign to help our hungry neighbors in need.

Afton Alps
It's Food Shelf Frenzy March 23 and 24 at Afton Alps! Enjoy the new snow cover this weekend when lift tickets at Afton Alps are just $8 with a donation of 4 non-perishable food items. More details at www.aftonalps.com.

General Mills Outnumber Hunger
Help provide more meals for our hungry neighbors through General Mills’ Outnumber Hunger campaign. It’s easy: Purchase any of the participating General Mills' products with Outnumber Hunger codes, submit your codes from the packages at www.outnumberhunger.com, enter your ZIP code and select your local food bank to help make an impact in your own community. Each code you enter from participating General Mills brands will secure 5 meals for your local Feeding America food bank, including Second Harvest Heartland.

With close to 10% of people in our region at risk of hunger, there’s never been a better time to join us in helping close the missing meals gap. You can see all of our current campaigns here.
