SHFM GIVES BACK
SHFM HUNGER GAMES / CHARITABLE ACTIVITY
Each year SHFM conference attendees come together during our annual hunger awareness activity for an afternoon of fun and networking. In addition to providing an entertaining event, this portion of conference also offers an opportunity to give back to the local community. Thanks to the generosity of SHFM members, we have raised over $100,000 to support local hunger initiatives.
With the enormous success of previous years, you won’t want to miss this year’s event on Tuesday, October 18 from 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. Attendees will be placed on a team to compete in five activities with the goal of earning points. The team earning the most points wins! And best of all, proceeds from this year’s event benefit UpRoot Colorado, an organization that works to increase the nutrition security of Coloradans by harvesting and redistributing surplus, nutrient-dense foods while supporting the resilience of farmers.
We look forward to you joining us for this fun filled event! Don’t forget to sign up for this activity when you register for conference. To provide additional support, be sure to purchase a new Hunger Games lapel pin too!
