We need your company to help fight hunger!

Take the Corporate Hunger Challenge.  All it takes is one person in your company to get on board and inspire those around you.  Won’t you be that person in your company? 

 

The Harpoon Point to Point is a great way for you and your colleagues to spend a day together outside of the office.  Enjoy the fresh Vermont air, get your heart pumping and kick your competitive drive in gear!  We have prizes for the teams that raise the most money for the Foodbank, have the most riders and who have the most creative team uniform.  Not only can you get the fundraising competition going internally, but keep in mind that there are other teams looking to win out in these categories too.  Put your company on the map for aiding in the serious problem of Hunger in Vermont.   We need your help!
