All proceeds will go to Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank.

Second Harvest can feed five people for every dollar donated.

“We’re about to really enter our bust season so it’s a great way to raise awareness of the issue. People think about it, you know, the holidays are coming, they’re thinking of where to give funds. Certainly hunger and hunger programs really serve an important need in the holidays,” said Shaye Moris, executive director of Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank

According to Second Harvest, food shelf use has increased 70 percent since 2008.
