Hunger Action Month Raffle

Start: Sept. 27, 2012, 2:55 p.m.

End: Oct. 13, 2012, 2:40 a.m.

During the month of September, the Feeding America network of Food Banks and their partner agencies across the nation will be working to raise awareness of hunger in their communities. In the service territory that the Food Bank of the Albemarle serves, and our agencies reside, 19.9%, or 61,390, of our neighbors are considered food insecure, meaning they may not know where their next meal is coming from, or do not have consistent access to nutritious food.

Lost Cause Tattoo Studio will be holding a food drive starting today, September 1st, until October 12th in support of the Food Bank of the Albemarle’s Hunger Action Month. For every 10 non perishable items brought into the studio and donated between these days will earn you 1 raffle ticket. Tickets may also be purchased for $5 each. 100% of purchased tickets will be donated to the Food Bank of the Albemarle. We will be raffling off 3 gift certificates to the studio; (1) $50, (1) $100, and (1) $150. In addition to the gift certificates, we will have a few other small raffle prizes.

The Food Bank of the Albemarle is constantly working to ensure that those who are in need receive this essential resource for a healthy life. Unfortunately, those who live with food insecurity and hunger often suffer in silence. This is why, together, we can make a combined, concerted effort to raise awareness and inform our friends, family and neighbors about hunger in our region.

*Keep an eye out! We will be gathering a team for the Hunger Walk on October 14th and hope you can come out and join our team!!!
