Upcoming Events
Fight Hunger Spark Change – April 1st – 29th
Now through the end of April, Walmart locations and Sam’s Clubs across the country are raising money to fight hunger and spark change.
Customers will be invited to round up their change, or donate at the register. When you visit any of the locations in the Kansas Food Bank’s 85-county service area, those funds will be donated to the Kansas Food Bank!
In addition to the register campaign, purchasing certain marked products during the month of April will mean additional donations to the food bank in your area.
Shop the list of participating items here.
You can support the Kansas Food Bank in store, online, or on the Walmart app. We hope you’ll join us for another great year fighting hunger together with our partners at Walmart & Sam’s Club!
Slim Chickens Round Up & Give Back – April 4th – 30th
Slim Chickens is fighting hunger this April!
All month long, visit the Wichita or McPherson Slim Chickens and round up your total to the nearest dollar for the Kansas Food Bank when you’re grabbing lunch or dinner, and your donation will help feed our Kansas neighbors!
Then, on Tuesday, April 30th, both locations will be donating 10% of all checks to the Kansas Food Bank. Plus, when you bring a jar of peanut butter to donate to the Kansas Food Bank, you’ll get a voucher for a FREE MILKSHAKE on your next visit (May 1-15)!
Save the Date for Stamp Out Hunger 2024 on Saturday, May 11th!
The nation’s largest one day food drive is held annually on the 2nd Saturday in May, thanks to the National Association of Letter Carriers.
Join your local mail carriers and millions of others by leaving your nonperishable food item by your mailbox on May 11th, 2024 and your mail carrier will make sure it gets to the Kansas Food Bank.
Be sure to keep an eye out this year for the blue bags in your mailbox, making it even easier to participate! Last year, with your help, we collected 99,447 pounds of food in just one day. The need is great – but so is the generosity of our community. Will you join us on Saturday, May 11th?
