August 13, 2009 Expo Guys Work to Help End Hunger The Expo Guys: ‘No one should go hungry’ Minneapolis, MN - Thousands of Twin Cities families, children and seniors go hungry each day because they cannot afford to buy food. These sad consequences of hunger are appalling. Hunger leads to poor health, strains the healthcare system and creates unnecessary burdens on communities. These grim facts are why the Expo Guys, proprietors of MediaMax Events and Expos, Inc., have partnered with the United Way to help curb hunger in the metro area. They are allowing FREE entry with items for the food shelf. “Nobody in America should go hungry,” says expo guy, “MagicBrad”. “The food we collect goes to the closest food shelf, so your donations stay right within the community. We are proud to help out in a meaningful way.” The Expo Guys and MediaMAX have four major events taking place this fall. Starting on Oct. 17-18 these is the Home Improvement and Design Expo at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Then on Oct. 24-25 it’s the Home Improvement and Design Expo at the National Sports Center in Blaine. On Oct 31-Nov 1 is the Home Improvement and Design Expo at Canterbury Park in Shakopee and on Nov 7th is the Healthy LIFE EXPO at the Midtown Global Market. All food items will be distributed to the local agencies in the specific community area. 1000s of people are expected to attend the two-day Home Improvement and Design Expo. “If everyone donates a non-perishable food product, that’s a very substantial contribution toward curbing hunger,” adds “MagicBrad”. “With winter approaching, contributions like these become all-the-more critical. Families shouldn’t have to choose between eating and paying for heat.” # # # |
