The annual SHFM National Conference features a hunger awareness activity that is filled with camaraderie, competition and community service. Hunger Games has become a staple for attendees, blending entertainment with the profound purpose of combating hunger in our local communities. Over the years, the unwavering commitment of SHFM members has driven us to raise over $100,000, making a significant impact on local hunger initiatives.
This year’s 11th anniversary Hunger Games took place on Tuesday, September 10th. Attendees were divided into teams, each participating in six exhilarating challenges. The air buzzed with excitement and friendly rivalry as each team strived for victory—not just for the bragging rights but also for the chance to contribute to a worthy cause. Ultimately, the event raised an impressive $21,000 on-site, benefiting the Baltimore Hunger Project.
The Baltimore Hunger Project focuses on addressing childhood hunger and nurturing young minds by providing additional food support to kids in need. This year introduced a new opportunity for those who preferred not to compete: assembling snack bags. All materials and supplies were provided, allowing participants to contribute tangibly to the Baltimore Hunger Project’s mission.
This remarkable day filled everyone with renewed energy through the shared spirit of giving back, while also strengthening the bonds within our community. The annual SHFM Hunger Games remains a testament to what we can achieve together when philanthropy meets passion and purpose.
