Neighborhood Competition to Provide Meals Will Help Decrease Hunger
With the goal not just to serve more meals but to decrease the number of hungry people in King County, Union Gospel Mission has a great way to get neighborhoods involved in decreasing hunger in our city.
With over 270,000 people struggling with hunger in King County, the Mission’s is challenging neighborhoods to compete to provide the most meals between Oct 15th and Nov 24th. The winning neighborhood receives a community celebration on Saturday, December 7th.
Keep track which neighborhood is on top at www.ugm.org.
UGM’s strategy to fight hunger in King County includes:
1. Shelters all over King County: Pioneer Square. Belltown. Kent. And winter shelters in Phinney Ridge. Lake City. Bellevue
2. Afterschool program all King County offering after school snacks, monthly meals and food bags
3. 5,000 Build-a-Box food boxes to be distributed to hungry families and seniors in food desert territories.
4. Hi-yield urban block farms.
The One City/One Hope campaign’s mission is to transform lives and transforms our city. No one gets left out or forgotten. It sounds like a great way to contribute to families in need this season.
