This year FMDINING.com is sponsoring Fill The Dome! FMDINING.com is a just month away from its 1st birthday and since we are all about food we decided what better way to commemorate this event by helping with a local food drive! Below is an excerpt from the Fill The Dome website.
Last year, the youth of Fargo-Moorhead made history by creating the largest youth led food drive in Fargo’s history. Aiming to bring together youth of all ages for a common good, students from the elementary to the high school level all over the Fargo-Moorhead area joined together to fill the floor of the Fargodome for local food pantries.
Last year’s Fill The Dome raised 80,498 pounds of food for local food pantries. Food Pantries in Fargo-Moorhead, as well as the surrounding area are running low. Some in rural North Dakota are having to close due to the lack of food.
This year, Fill The Dome 2008 is aiming to raise 50 tons of food and $50,000 of funds. All food raised will stay in the Fargo-Moorhead area. 30% of funds raised will stay in Fargo, with the other 70% of funds going to rural North Dakota- where people need this food the most.
Details are still in the works for this year’s Fill The Dome. We hope to Fill the Dome in late November, but an official date has not yet been set. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for updated information.
