Hungerthon with iHeartRadio Springfield
September 8-11

Join us for the 25th annual Hungerthon! Ozarks Food Harvest and iHeartRadio Springfield will raise funds for The Food Bank’s Weekend Backpack Program. This critical program connects nutritious meals and snacks to children who do not have access to school-provided meals over the weekend.
Our Hungerthon goal this year is to raise $250,000 to sponsor 700 children every weekend for an entire school year.
Tune in to Alice 95.5, US97, 100.5 The Wolf and 105.9 KGBX to listen for dollar-for-dollar matches that will double your impact.

Empty Bowls
Online: September 25-27 | In person: September 28


Empty Bowls serves as a reminder of those facing hunger in southwest Missouri. All the funds raised from this year’s event will support the Weekend Backpack Program.
You can purchase beautiful bowls made by local artists, and all proceeds will help provide weekend meals for students who would otherwise go without. The exhibit is open online September 25-27, and in person at Panera on S. Campbell on September 28 from 3:00-7:00 p.m.
If you have any questions, or you're an artist who would like to join the exhibit, contact Sarah Green at sgreen@ozarksfoodharvest.org for more info.
Special thank you to Holmes and Griffeth Financial Planners for their support of Empty Bowls.
