Christian Brothers High School Hunger Challenge 2019

2019 Hunger Challenge State and Regional Winners Help Feed Thousands

May 7, 2019/in Hunters for the Hungry, News /by Kate Hill

Hunger Challenge is an initiative of the Federation’s Hunters for the Hungry program, which connects food banks and soup kitchens with caring deer hunters.

The challenge raises critical funds to help feed hungry Tennesseans and serves as an educational experience for students. By participating, students gain important skills in humanitarianism, club-building, leadership, and philanthropy.

“The Hunger Challenge is just one example of how Tennessee Wildlife Federation is constantly working to engage youth in the outdoors,” said Matt Simcox, Hunters for the Hungry manager.

“Involvement in the Hunger Challenge teaches students respect for wildlife and what it means to be good stewards of our resources. The Federation is impressed by the commitment of these students and grateful for their contributions to the program.”

Hunger Challenge begins again in August and schools interested in participating can visit the Hunger Challenge page for more information.
