Registration continues through Sept. 13 for a competition challenging businesses to help address hunger.

Food Bank of the Rockies Western Slope will stage the two-month competition.

“We’re really excited to kick off this new challenge and work alongside incredible partners across our community to provide nutritious and meaningful food to kids, families and individuals,” said Gabriela Garayar, senior development manager with Food Bank of the Rockies Western Slope. “At the end of the competition, the ultimate victory is in the collective effort to alleviate food insecurity across the Western Slope.”

Participating businesses will earn points in the competition by conducting virtual food drives, collecting individual donations, logging volunteer hours at the Western Slope Etkin Family Distribution Center in Grand Junction, posting information about the challenge on social meeting and attending a kickoff party scheduled for Sept. 19. At the end of the challenge, Food Bank of the Rockies will announce an overall winner as well as recognize the best virtual food drive and most volunteer hours logged.
