You can help
When it's summer time families who are less fortunate have difficulties finding food. Lunch box for kids program was created to help those familes in need. Donation is collected on Hope for the City website. There are two federal programs who assist these familles but unfortunately only 13 out of every 100 Minnesotan are provided with food. We need to do better than that! Hope for the city has a goal of 5,000 boxes, which carry 100,000 lunch boxes. They have joined with 5 Eyewitness news to help them reach their goal, but the most important contributer is missing and it is YOU! Make a difference and DONATE!
