1/13/14 - While much has been done to remedy local hunger, thereâs always more work to be done. Defeating hunger in local communities is the goal behind a different type of bowl game underway across Livingston County. Local United Way Executive Director Nancy Rosso says thereâs lots of good work being done through the Livingston County Hunger Council, which has teamed up with Wal-Mart for the first annual Defeat Hunger Bowl. With a football and Superbowl theme, Rosso tells WHMI itâs designed to bring awareness to the hunger issue and the first time it's being done in Michigan. She says they invite community members to join in the fight and local work to keep hunger at bay. Non-perishable food donations can be dropped off in boxes located inside of Wal-Mart locations in Howell, Hartland, and Fowlerville through February 2nd. Individuals are also able to purchase a $5 pre-paid donation bag of food. Rosso says all donations will go to Gleaners Community Food Bank of Livingston County as well as a large network of other local food panties. (JM)
