Challenge #3
Week 3: Dress for Success
Hunger is a complex issue. When people face hunger, they often struggle to meet other basic needs as well—such as housing, employment, and healthcare. That’s why Feeding America is committed to more than providing food for people in need. Last week, each team had a $10 budget and a big interview to prepare for! They spun the wheel to pick the hypothetical career they were interviewing for. They then put together the perfect "fit" for the job. Vote for YOUR favorite "fit" by Monday, May 6.
Challenge #2
Week 2: Food Trivia
During week 2, our Ending Hunger Games teams tested their knowledge about all thing’s food related in the ultimate battle of culinary wits! Teams faced off in a Trivia Hub quiz that included food facts, culinary history, and global cuisines. Team Feed Hope dominated Food Trivia and GBU Life donated $30 to their Feeding America fundraiser page.

Challenge #1
Week 1: What's for Dinner?
Did you know that every dollar donated to Feeding America can help provide at least 10 meals to kids, families and individuals facing hunger?
During week 1, each team spun the wheel to select 3 ingredients items available at the Dollar Tree to create a meal with. They could use supplemental ingredients for their meal but had to use the 3 mandatory ingredients they landed on when they spun. Team District Ate received the most votes with their "Sweet Thai Chili Ramen Stir Fry with Cornbread".
