FOOD BANK NEEDS YOUR HELP

THE SIOUXLAND TRI STATE FOOD BANK IS WRAPPING UP A WEEKLONG FUNDRAISER WITH LOCAL BURGER KINGS.

BRINGING IN 5 CANNED GOODS TO BURGER KING WILL GET YOU A CARD FOR A WHOPPER SANDWICH.

FOOD BANK DIRECTOR LINDA SCHEID SAYS THE DONATIONS HELP THE AGENCY PROVIDE ONE-POINT-SIX MILLION POUNDS OF FOOD ANNUALLY TO THE TRI STATE REGION .

SCHEID SAYS CASH CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FOOD BANK HAVE MORE BUYING POWER THAN IF YOU STOP AT A GROCERY STORE TO PICK UP A FEW ITEMS FOR DONATION.

THE WHOPPERTUNITY PROGRAM WITH BURGER KING RUNS THROUGH SATURDAY, BUT DONATIONS ARE ACCEPTED BY THE FOOD BANK YEAR ROUND.
