The Eat-A-Beet Challenge is back!
In February 2021, the Hamilton Professional Fire Fighters Association (HPFFA) – Local 288, launched the #eatAbeet social media challenge to help raise funds & awareness for Food4Kids Hamilton (and to “beet” childhood hunger in the City).
For complete details about #eatAbeet, please visit the official Food4Kids Hamilton #eatAbeet website by clicking here.
Food4Kids Hamilton – the reason for #eatAbeet
Food4Kids Hamilton provides packages of nutritious food for over 1000 elementary and secondary school students with little or no access to food during the weekend/summer months. The Food4Kids Hamilton program operates within 54 HWDSB schools, and with the help of school staff, students are referred for enrolment in the program. Through a team of volunteers, Food4Kids Hamilton packs individual food bags every week and delivers directly to schools before each weekend. Visit www.food4kidshamilton.ca to learn more about all the good Food4Kids does for youth in Hamilton.
This year’s Eat-A-Beet campaign is challenging Hamilton schools to:
1. Eat a beet (raw, cooked, pickled, canned, juiced…)
2. Post a video or photo to social media (using #eatabeet) and tag us!
