Way to go we made it through week 2! We are now against the team that brought in the most last week. Hopelink Can Madness Food Drive for March
***Please continue to bring canned food to help our neighbors!***
This is a March-Madness-style food and fund drive where local businesses and community groups—including First Lutheran of Richmond Beach—compete to stock the shelves of Hopelink’s five no-cost food markets during a season when donations typically drop. Each week, participating teams face off in one-on-one brackets, with winners advancing until a champion is crowned. We can continue to compete each week for a second chance shoot out. This is a great event and an amazing way to help our community.
Food collection continues each week! Help us at our weekly weigh-ins. To make a cash donation, click here to follow the link so that our team gets credit. https://fundraise.hopelink.org/team/805926
