28th Annual Kids Against Hunger Campaign will assist Interfaith Food Bank help SW Alta.

During the month of October, youth groups throughout Lethbridge and surrounding areas will join forces to help feed those in need in the southwest through the Interfaith Food Bank.

Young people from churches, schools, clubs and teams will canvas the homes in an assigned area on behalf of the Interfaith Food Bank, or will host events at school, church or their community groups in efforts to help us stock our shelves for the winter. Food stocks are low, and demand will rise with the colder months ahead.

Participating groups will be provided with nametags, flyers, and assigned a specific area of the city in which to collect food items on behalf of Interfaith Food Bank, or a how to guide for organizing food drives or fundraising events. Food collection dates will be arranged by each organization, as it best suits group scheduling; and delivery of collected food items to Interfaith can also be arranged for a time that works best for your organization. To involve your group/organization:

1. Contact Mac at Interfaith Food Bank at 403-3208779 or mac@interfaith foodbank.ca;

2. Complete Kids Against Hunger Group Registration Form;

3. Pick up your campaign kit (maps, nametags, flyers or event guide).

4. Conduct food drive or event in your assigned area;

5. Deliver collected food to Interfaith Food Bank. The Kids Against Hunger Campaign has been a youth initiative to benefit Interfaith Food Bank for many years, and a chance for local groups to show that kids really can make a difference in the lives of others in their communities. Please help us to make our 28th Annual Kids Against Hunger Campaign an event to remember, and an opportunity to give to those who need it most.
