DAVENPORT, IOWA– During the month of February, nearly 50 area businesses and organizations will be involved in collecting funds and food for River Bend Foodbank by taking part in the Community Hunger Drive. The businesses will be holding a variety of activities throughout the month to engage their employees in raising donations for River Bend Foodbank.
“We are excited about the upcoming Community Hunger Drive,” said Michael Miller, President and CEO of River Bend Foodbank. “It’s a fun way to beat the winter doldrums and get involved in the community-wide effort to end hunger. There are more businesses participating than ever before, and our vision is that this will someday involve the entire QCA.”
