Consider getting involved in Kids Against Hunger

To the Editor:

Thanksgiving for many is a season of plenty. Remember your parents saying “clean your plate, kids are starving somewhere?” Truth is, locally as well as globally, hunger is real and persistent, and often we feel just cleaning our plate won’t help. For the 16th time there is an easy, accessible and local way to impact HUNGER, called KIDS AGAINST HUNGER food pack, coming up Feb. 8, 2025 at the Fairmont National Guard Armory. Effective? Almost 1.7 MILLION meals and over $ 440,000 has been raised here to fund the locally packed meals. Local and even global kids receive the food. You can make an impact with one or both of 2-Be’s below.

BE THERE: Join a group or bring part of or an entire group of 10 with you. Karen at kahfairmontmn@gmail.com or 507-848-1260 can sign you up, field questions or make volunteering a delight. The Website is kahfairmontmn.weebly.com and has a link for team sign up. BE GENEROUS: $500 covers the cost of the food each team packs in their fun two hour shift. Donations of any size can be mailed to Sue Homan, 921 Hengen Street, Fairmont, MN 56031.
