HSM Member Resource Fair & Voice of Hunger Rally By The Numbers
Join us on Thursday, July 17th, at Black Bear Crossings on Como Lake in St. Paul for this one of a kind event! More than 20 resource booths will be available to provide you with information to help you and your organization keep up with the current record-breaking pace of feeding hungry Minnesotans and also in your pursuit of nonprofit excellence. Resource Fair attendees will have the opportunity to win a $100 Target gift card by visiting all of the resource booths and submitting their punch card for the drawing. There will be two different revolving 20 minute mini-sessions to inform you about ways that you can notify and assist the people you serve about public programs and benefits for which they may be eligible with information from the Office of Economic Opportunity’s Food Support Outreach program and the Children’s Defense Fund’s Bridge to Benefits project. Two days after the event, our Voice of Hunger Rally guest speaker, Senator George McGovern, will be 86 years old. Agenda: 12-12:30 p.m. 12:30-1:30 p.m. The Voice of Hunger Wall will be open from 10:00-2:00 p.m. giving you the opportunity to add your voice to the first of its kind hunger advocacy and awareness tool. The first 50 attendees to sign on to the Voice of Hunger Network will receive a Trader Joe’s reusable bag! Contact Cathy Patterson by Friday, July 11th at 651-789-9844/800-782-6372 to register.
