United Way/Scheels Kick Summer Hunger Human Foosball and Grill Fest was an absolute success!⚽🔥

It was an incredible day filled with fun, food, games, and community support. Thanks to everyone who participated, donated, volunteered, and stopped by, we reached our goal of matching (and beating!) the number of nonperishable food items collected last year. Together, we collected 450 lbs. of food to help kick summer hunger in our community!

A special thank you to Chelsea from Wild Country 99 for joining us and helping make this event even more memorable. We also want to thank all of our amazing vendors who provided delicious food samples throughout the day.

Congratulations to Preferred Credit Inc, who took home the Human Foosball Tournament championship for the second year in a row! 🏆 The question is: who’s going to step up and beat them next year?

Thank you to all the teams, sponsors, vendors, and community members who helped make this event such a success. We can't wait to do it all again next year!

On this World Caring Day, let's honor those who dedicate themselves to caring for others and remember that even the smallest gestures can bring comfort, hope, and strength.
