Hamilton Professional Firefighters Association -Local 288, with the support of Tandia Financial Credit Union are here to help and need you too! Together, we can BEET childhood hunger.
The #eatAbeet Challenge is simple. Let’s not *beet* around the bush and get down to the root of it!
1. Video or post a photo of yourself eating a beet (peeled, cooked, canned, juiced - you choose!) and post on social media using the #eatAbeet hashtag, and tag @food4kidshamilton @hamff4charity and @tandiafinancialcreditunion
2. Donate $25 (or whatever you can) to Food4Kids Hamilton (link in bio)
3. Challenge your friends!
*If you want to raise money and awareness, beet the clock and join the campaign on your own! You do not need to be challenged or tagged to participate.
Eating your veggies AND helping kids in your community? You simply cannot beet that! 😉
"He arrived each day at school with one piece of white bread... that was moldy."
We wish we could say this was an isolated occurrence,
but there are 1,300 kids in Hamilton with limited or
no access to food each weekend.
Food4Kids provides packages of healthy food for kids aged 4-17 years with limited or no access to food each weekend.
The food packages are assembled by volunteers and delivered to schools each week to ensure children have nourishment over the weekend. There are 1,300 children in Hamilton struggling through each weekend without food.
It’s hard to believe children in our very own community go hungry, but it's a reality faced by children each and every day. It’s not that parents do not want to feed their kids….they can’t. The worsening economy, job loss, working poor, illness, mental health, marriage breakdown or those fleeing their home country to seek safe refuge in Canada, are some of the reasons a parent will turn to Food4Kids for support.
Food4Kids is funded through donations or one-time grants. While hunger exists around the world, it is our hope to address hunger in our home community.
