SEPTEMBER IS HUNGER ACTION MONTH 

In September, Lakeshore Food Club is joining food banks and pantries across the country to raise awareness and generate action to fight hunger in our communities.

How can you support hunger-relief efforts? There’s a way for everyone to get involved:

• Donate: Donate money through direct giving, a Facebook fundraiser, through the Benefit app or by organizing your organization or club to raise funds.
• Volunteer: Volunteer your time at the Food Club, or volunteer your professional services to help raise awareness and offset operational costs.  
• Advocate: Use your voice to let decision-makers and government representatives know that YOU care about making hunger relief and systematic change a legislative priority.
• Educate: friends, children and community members about the impact of hunger and need for action.  

FOOD COUNCIL COMMUNITY MEETING

If you have not yet been to a meeting, it's not too late to join.  At the September 24th meeting from 2-3:30pm the group will be discussing action steps to achieve its short-term goals to: 

• Create and expand food focused networks in Mason County
• Increase food accessibility in Mason County
• Engage the community on food focused efforts in Mason County

RSVP's are encouraged by clicking below or emailing sarah@lakeshorefoodclub.org.

Giving is Easy with the Benefit Mobile App

Introducing "BENEFIT"… a mobile app that allows you to give back to the Food Club, all while doing what you already do!  BENEFIT partners with tons of retailers you already use and gives 2-20% of your purchase dollars to your beneficiary of choice (like LFC).

How does it work?  1. Download the app.   2. Attach your form of payment.  3. Instead of directly checking out with your credit card, purchase a gift card from retailers.  4. Use the digital gift card whether you check out online or in person.  5. Boom - you’ve just donated to a great cause!

It’s so easy, and it’s a great way to give while you go about your daily activities.  Just a couple extra clicks.
