Description

United Food Bank announces a new way to recognize Hunger Action Month in September with a Fit to Feed Fitness Challenge that helps supporters hit new health goals while raising funds for 100,000 meals during the month. Registration for the month-long challenge is open now at fittofeedaz.org. Participants will log their activities -- going to the gym, volunteering, fundraising -- to compete for weekly prize giveaways and support United Food Bank and their own healthy habits. They also will have access to free exclusive events during September, and the first 75 people to sign up for the Fit to Feed Fitness Challenge will receive a free Arizona State Park Day Pass! All registered participants are invited to work their muscles at the United Food Bank Volunteer Center on September 1 to help pack food bags for its 165 partner agencies who serve people in need throughout the East Valley and southeastern Arizona.
