Dine Out, Fight Hunger

Food Fight starts today, so we're all geared up around here for what we hope is a great kickoff to our fall campaign events. Last year it generated enough canned goods to feed more than 23,000 families in the Kanawha Valley. That's amazing, sure, but we're hoping to feed a lot more people this year. And let's face it, the need this year is greater than we've seen in years...and perhaps in The Mission's nearly 100-year history. Yes, the situation "on the ground" is that critical.

With that in mind comes the next chance for people to help out.

This Monday, October 19, Chili's in the Charleston Town Center is graciously hosting a "Chili's Gives Back Night" for Union Mission. It works like this: you eat dinner at Chili's this Monday, making sure to hand in a Chili's Gives Back flyer with your bill, and The Mission gets 10% of the proceeds from your check.

This is late notice, we realize. We just finalized the event, so we need your help to make it a success. So, on Monday, skip cooking and head down to Chili's at the Town Center. Just remember, you must bring this form with you (just click the link, download the PDF and print it off).

We hope to see you there.
