Walmart is running a campaign called Fight Hunger.Spark Change to givie 50 food banks (out of 128 participating across the U.S.) each $60,000 to support various hunger programs across the United States. Winners are determined by the number of votes cast online from Sept. 15 - Oct 5th.
Right now, our food bank - The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank - www.brafb.org, located in Verona, VA - is a serious underdog. We aren't even in the top 50 at this point. Reddit Nation, please help us secure a $60,000 grant by voting.
Here's how: 1. Visit http://ift.tt/1tW6GfH 2. scroll to the bottom and type in Virginia 3. vote for the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank (must log in to Facebook so the voting system can verify each vote and prevent voting fraud). 4. Voting resets every 24 hours.
Essentially, if we win a grant we'll be able to provide 281,250 pounds of fresh vegetables (about 8 tractor-trailer loads worth) to thousands of individuals and families in need across western and central Virginia.
$15,000 of the grant will also be used to purchase refrigerators and coolers to help four of our partner agencies (food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters) be able to store and distribute more vegetables to those in need.
As an underdog, we need your help getting in the top 50. Thank you for voting!
Together, we can solve hunger.
