The 2026 Food Fight is on!
This week-long class competition challenges our community to come together in support of Martha’s Kitchen and the thousands of families in our region who rely on their services each day.
Why We’re Fighting Hunger
At Martha’s Kitchen, the belief is simple and powerful: no one should ever have to wonder where their next meal will come from. For over 45 years, this organization has been a vital resource in addressing food insecurity across our community, providing nutritious meals, groceries, and hope to individuals and families facing hardship.
Our collective goal: 1 can per student — 1,750 pounds of food!
Every item donated helps Martha’s Kitchen continue expanding its impact and responding to urgent needs in our region.
Competition Details
- Begins: Thursday, 2/19
- Ends: Thursday, 2/26
