WHY: National Hunger Awareness is recognized in the month of June and the Fresno Grizzlies Community Fund and the Community Food Bank have created this program to eliminate hunger for those living in local communities. Since food drives are one of the most important instruments of Community Food Bank, the Grizzlies are giving the community an easy, visible and tangible way of supporting hunger relief efforts while getting an incentive.

FACTS: The Community Food Bank has been preventing hunger and malnutrition in Fresno and throughout the Central Valley since 1992. During the 2002-2003 fiscal year, Community Food Bank distributed more than 8.1 million pounds of food to those in need. They provide this service with the cooperation of over 200 community-based organizations.

For more information on the food drive along with all Grizzlies' promotions call the Grizzlies at (559) 442-1994 or visit our redesigned web site at, www.fresnogrizzlies.com. To learn about other ways you can help your community, visit http://communityfoodbank.net.
