#MunchMadness

It’s here again!

Even if you are not the world’s biggest sports fan you have surly heard of March Madness, the catchy name used for college basketball’s playoff tournament. Some of us are decked out in our college apparel right down to our underwear, while others can’t even name more than two Washington schools (University of Washington and what’s that other one called?) No matter what kind of fan you are there is no denying how fun it can be to get a burger, some beer and yell silly things at the TV for an hour or so.

That’s why The Rainier Valley Food Bank is once again partnering with Rookies Sports Bar and Grill to bring you #MunchMadness!!!

Last year Rookies patrons donated just under $5,000 to RVFB! This year #MunchMadness donations will support backpack feeding programs for neighboring schools in the Rainier Valley. Many low-income families depend on Free and Reduced Price Meals to provide breakfast and lunch to their children on the weekdays. But without access to nutritious food on the weekends, many students return to school on Mondays hungry and unable to learn. All #MunchMadness donations will provide RVFB with the resources to purchase nutrient rich, fresh foods for students and their families.

The servers at Rookies will be collecting donations during playoff basketball season for the months of March and April. In the true spirit of competition, the servers are challenging each other to see who can bring in the most money!

So go support your favorite team, support your favorite bar and grill, support your favorite server and most of all support your favorite neighborhood Food Bank.
