THE NASCAR FOUNDATION STRIVES TO PROVIDE 350,000 MEALS TO CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH FEEDING AMERICA
 

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (June 30, 2009) – The NASCAR Foundation has joined forces with Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity, for a summer-long food drive with a goal to provide 350,000 meals in 2009 to children and their families in need.

In partnership with Feeding America, The NASCAR Foundation has created several opportunities for fans to join these efforts including a Track Walk at Chicagoland Speedway and the online virtual food drive conducted throughout the summer NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.

Receiving proper nutrition is critical to the growth and development of a child. Approximately 17.9 million low-income children received free or reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch Program last year, but just 2 million of those children participated in the Summer Food Service Program that provides food to children during the summer months when the school session is out. As a result, the need at local food banks during these months increases. Full Story
