ST. GEORGE — Wal-Mart as once again partnered with various organizations in the state, including the Utah Food Bank, to fight hunger. Wal-Mart is hosting the second annual 'Fighting Hunger Together' Facebook challenge, and the winning area will receive $1 million to support local food pantries.
St. George is among the 200 geographic locations that have been selected nationwide to compete in the challenge, and they are asking the public to participate to help win the contest. The $1 million will go directly to the designated region to help support their local families through the food banks and pantries in that area.
To help the Utah region to win the $1 million, "like" the 'Fighting Hunger Together' Facebook page.
Last year, the Utah region that participated in the 'Fighting Hunger Together' challenge, won the contest and residents in the Salt Lake City and Ogden areas were greatly benefited.
The Utah Food Bank encourages participation to help fight hunger in this effort. According to their reports, one in seven children in Utah are at risk for hunger, and one in 10 Utahns live in poverty. To help the Utah region win the $1 million, vote on the 'Fighting Hunger Together' Facebook page.
