New Opportunities to Support Put Hunger in Park

MASSILLON, OH – July 17, 2018 – Meals on Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties cordially invites you to Put Hunger in Park on Thursday, September 13, 2018!

The fundraiser will be held at Hoover Park in North Canton from 5PM-9PM. Put Hunger in Park will include live entertainment, activities for all ages, beer and food trucks and, most importantly, plenty of Meals on Wheels.

This year’s fundraiser also has plenty of opportunities for individuals and businesses interested in supporting the agency. Sponsorship and partnership opportunities are still available, with benefits that include: recognition on advertising materials, social media promotion, direct marketing access, and on-site presence at the fundraiser. There are also exclusive event benefits for those who volunteer as an Adopt-a Route partner.

“If an organization or individual is looking for a way to reach out to the community and support a good cause, then Put Hunger in Park is perfect,” said Nancy Bundy, Event Chair. “Your support – through a financial sponsorship, Adopt-a-Route partnership or both – is not only rewarded with very public recognition, but it also allows you to make a positive impact on the people in our neighborhoods who are in need of this invaluable community service.”

The agency is looking to build even more momentum in 2018 with diverse ways for individuals and businesses to get involved.

The 2017 food fest was an overwhelming success, and Meals on Wheels is hoping to outdo itself in 2018. With nearly 2,000 in attendance last year, the agency shared its mission, recognized supporters, and created many new advocates in the community – while raising more than $86,000 to support nutritionally at-risk clients.

Meals on Wheels’ mission is to provide nutrition for better health, happiness, and independence by serving 1,500 meals a day to individuals in need in Stark and Wayne Counties. To accomplish this, it depends on the help of a passionate staff, dedicated volunteers, and generous supporters like yourself. Put Hunger in Park is a perfect fit with the agency’s mission as it focuses on the positive impact good food and great people can make on the community.
