School is out, but hunger does not take the summer off

Champion Windows of Ft. Collins “Close the Window on Hunger” summer campaign benefits local food banks in its service area, including Boulder Community Food Share


It’s surprising, but true: 1 in 4 kids in the northern Colorado and Wyoming go hungry. During the school year, these children have a free lunch at school and each Friday they take a backpack of food home to tide them over during the weekend.

When summer vacation rolls around, most kids can’t wait for school to be over. However, hungry kids can’t wait for school to begin. There is a pressing need for local Food Banks to fill in the gap.

Campaign provides way for Champion and its customers to fight hunger locally

Champion will provide a donation of 50 pounds of food per in-home appointment run, and an additional 100 pounds of food for every project order placed by August 31 within the counties they serve.

“We know it’s important to be part of the communities we serve and to give back at the local level, says Steve Lambert, Division Manager of Champion Windows of Fort Collins. “Please support your local food banks through numerous food drives planned in your community. Champion would also appreciate your support to the community through Close the Window on Hunger.”

Jim Baldwin, CEO of Community Food Share adds, “Community Food Share appreciates the support of Champion Windows in the fight against Hunger, especially during the summer when school is out”.

From now until August 31, Champion Windows of Ft. Collins will have some fun ways for members in each of the communities it serves to help fight summer hunger.

Look for updates and information about local activities on Champion Window’s Facebook page, or call 970-612-0811 or 877-221-0770.
