Two hundred attendees of the 2010 Golf Industry Show in San Diego will partner with the San Diego Food Bank Feb. 8 to help fight hunger, feed those in need and give back to the community.
The Golf Industry Show will send two shifts of 100 volunteers, one in the morning and another in the afternoon, from the San Diego Convention Center to the work site. In addition, during the entire week of the Golf Industry Show and accompanying education conferences, Feb. 8-13, attendees will have the opportunity to donate food and money at the convention center.
More than 480,000 people are fighting hunger in San Diego County alone. The San Diego Food Bank provides nearly 24,000 meals per day and feeds more than 360,000 people per month. Last year, the food bank distributed 11.2 million pounds of food, the equivalent of 8.75 million meals. To help so many people in the community, the food bank relies entirely on volunteers to sort, pack and distribute food.
Registration for the Golf Industry Show service project opens Oct. 1 with a 200-volunteer limit closing no later than Dec. 31. For more information contact Kyla Dotson, GCSAA marketing specialist, at 800-472-7878.
