FOOD LIFELINE IS PART OF THE POUND FOR POUND CHALLENGE!
"Lose Nationally and Feed Locally!" We are joining Feeding America's Pound for Pound Challenge with NBC's The Biggest Loser, General Mills, Subway, 24 Hour Fitness and Walgreens. Sign up and pledge your weight loss goals at www.pfpchallenge.com. For every pound you pledge, General Mills will donate 14 cents to Food Lifeline. It's something you can easily do right now to help feed local hungry people.
We are thrilled to announce our Challenge Champions, Matt and Suzy Hoover from Biggest Loser, Season 2. These national celebrities who call Western Washington home were featured on Evening Magazine with Meeghan Black on February 2nd!
In its second year, the program helps people gain support in their effort to lose weight as they, in turn, help local organizations like ours raise funds to assist individuals, families, and children struggling with hunger in our area. There are plenty of ways you can help! You can sign up to be a Challenge participant, support someone taking the Challenge with a pledge, become a Challenge Champion in our community, or start a Challenge team at your company or organization. If Food Lifeline has the most participation in this promotion, we will receive an additional $10,000 to help feed those in need in Western Washington. Check out our group page on Facebook and keep others updated with your progress.
We hope you’ll join us in showing America that Western Washington is up to the Challenge!
