Souper
Bowl Week of Caring to Provide 50,000 Meals
Harvesters
and Kansas City Chiefs teaming up to feed the hungry
Kansas City, MO – Join Harvesters and
the Kansas City Chiefs as they team up to “tackle” hunger during the Souper
Bowl Week of Caring, January 31 through February 5.
Across the community, many families, including many working families, do not
know where their next meal is coming from. Many others are making the difficult
choice whether to “heat or eat,” deciding whether to pay for utilities or heat
or buy food. Harvesters and the Chiefs are calling on everyone in the community
to help score a touchdown for the hungry by providing 50,000 meals during this
year’s Souper Bowl week.
“Harvesters’
network is feeding more people than ever before and food is literally flying
off our shelves,” said Karen Haren, president and CEO of Harvesters. “We are
excited to be partnering with the Kansas City Chiefs to collect much needed
food and funds to help us feed hungry families.”
