Two Jefferson-based businesses are seeking additional volunteers to help for a worthy cause.

Home State Bank and Wild Rose Casino and Resort are teaming up for the Second Annual Mobile Hunger Fight, which will take place Wednesday, November 10th at Wild Rose from 6-8pm. The event is in support of Meals from the Heartland with a goal of preparing 30,000 meals in two hours. Additionally, there will be prizes and other games happening during the event.

During the inaugural year of this event, a total of 29,592 meals were packaged with help from 90 volunteers. Of those meals, about 200 stayed in Greene County for those less fortunate families. Contact Jackie Cunningham with Home State Bank to sign up or to learn more about the volunteerism opportunity. 

Meals from the Heartland started in 2007 to feed starving children across the U.S.
