Black out Hunger on Black Saturday
Many area residents deal with hunger-related issues on a daily
basis.
It’s been estimated that one out of six people in Western North Carolina are food
insecure.
Founded to relieve hunger and poverty in the High Country, the Hunger and Health
Coalition in Watauga County is in critical need of food donations.
The Appalachian
student ambassadors at Appalachian State University, in partnership with the Hunger and Health
Coalition, are encouraging all fans to bring canned foods and nonperishable food items to the home
ASU football game Saturday, Oct. 29. The donations will be turned over to the
coalition.
Special area food needs include instant oatmeal, peanut butter and cereal, but all
donations are appreciated.
Drop-off points will be located at the ticket plaza and the east
and west gates prior to the 3 p.m. kickoff at Kidd Brewer Stadium on the ASU campus.
