ImpactLives and the Minnesota Lynx have formed a partnership with local businesses to promote our first “Hoops for Hunger” campaign. This is a community initiative, calling on the efforts of people from around MN to unite together to make an impact in the world. This initiative strives to promote volunteerism and awareness of world hunger while thousands of local volunteers will be given the opportunity to pack as many as 300,000 meals. These meals will be distributed to hungry children & adults both in the US and around the world.

Hunger Facts

The food crisis has pushed the number of hungry people in the world to over 1 Billion!
25,000 people die each day because of lack of food. Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger.
Malnutrition & hunger are the number one risk to health worldwide as almost 1 in 7 people do not get enough food.
You can combine the risk of malaria, AIDS & tuberculosis, and hunger is still higher!
Nearly 1 in 4 people (1.3 billion) live on less than $1.00/day (UNICEF)

Your Involvement:

We need people to come out and volunteer to help us pack the food! We still have one day left of this event, which is September 5th! Our shifts start at 11, 12, 1:30, 2:30 & 3:30. We’re looking for 600-700 volunteers throughout the day, so please come and join us! Please contact Nicole at Nicole.Impact@gmail.com or call 763.515.0470 to make your reservations or to get more information.

We will also give away premium tickets to the MN Lynx game that night as they take on the Seattle Storm. Anyone who volunteers at the packing event will be able to come to the game to cheer on our beloved MN Lynx team as they battle for spot in the playoffs!

One box of food costs $54 and contains 216 meals and will feed a family of 6 for 1 month! Please note that you do not need to purchase food to be able to volunteer! This is a great opportunity for individuals, families, businesses, churches and organizations to volunteer together to feed those in poverty and create a stronger community.
