Fruit Cups to Fight Hunger

Dole is kicking off their cross-country tour with a traveling fruit stand that will benefit Feeding America & Food Bank of the Rockies.  This summer, Dole is taking its new Fruit Bowls® All Natural Fruit in 100% juice on a cross-country tour, making stops in 12 cities—including our own Denver.  They're giving consumers an opportunity to sample the new product and Dole will be donating fruit cups to families in need in Colorado through FBR, based on the number of folks who visit the booth.
The tour visits Denver on Saturday, July 23 from 11-6 at Market Street Station, curbside closest to the train station.  Dole will donate one cup of DOLE All Natural Fruit in 100% juice for every person who visits the fruit stand in person and an additional bonus cup for every Facebook “check in” on-site. 
You can follow along online at www.Facebook.com/Dole and stop by the booth on the 23rd.  Thanks to Dole for including Colorado in your outreach!

Christy

Christy and her husband took over the family painting company after her husband's father passed away suddenly.  Once a lucrative business, the company fell on hard times with the troubled economy.  Christy, her husband, young daughter and mother-in-law are trying to keep up on bills, but are struggling to put food on the table.  They're currently waiting for food stamps and are trading services for painting as a creative way to make ends meet.  Simply going out for painting bids is difficult with the price of gas.  They're having a baby any day and worry about how they're going to manage all that life is throwing at them.  Christy relies on a local food pantry to ease worries about feeding her family and is grateful for the help.  This family resides in the 7th wealthiest county in the nation.  Imagine that. 

What are your plans for August 26th?

If that Friday night has you wondering what to do, we'd love to greet you at the Joe & Debbie Sakic Bringing Hope to the Table Celebration, presented by CoBank and RBC Wealth Management.
