Feeding America

Nearly 50 million people in the U.S. and Canada are burdened by food insecurity, not knowing where their next meal is coming from. While this is a daunting challenge to overcome, by working with leaders and organizations in our community to provide meals to people in need, we can make and significant difference. Over the summer to support Midas’ Drive Out Hunger campaign, Morochians participated in our first annual “Canned Castle” competition to provide hunger relief in North Texas. Participants built 16 castles that weighed in at over 3,866 lbs. – the equivalent of 3,200 meals! All castles were donated to the North Texas Food Bank and Tarrant Area Food Bank.

Morochians put their castles on display to support hunger relief in North Texas.

Drive Out Hunger is a community effort supporting Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization that feeds 46 million people at risk of hunger. This holiday season, instead of spending money on cards or gifts, we’re donating those funds to the organizations near and dear to our heart, such as Feeding America. We encourage anyone who can to donate to your local food bank or to another organization in need. ‘Tis the season for giving and every little bit counts.
