Hunger Hurts Kids

Female Leaders In Philanthropy, an initiative of United Way of the Ozarks, received an $8,000 donation from Wal-Mart Stores Inc. for FLIP’s Hunger Hurts Kids! Campaign, a partnership between FLIP, Springfield Public Schools and Ozarks Food Harvest. On hand for the check presentation are, from left: Ann Dare, United Way campaign associate; Nancy Fazzino, United Way’s vice president of resource development and planned giving; Dennis Brown, co-manager of the Wal-Mart Supercenter on North Kansas Expressway; and Susan Jackson, United Way of the Ozarks marketing and communications director. The money will help expand Ozarks Food Harvest’s backpack program, which provides school children with food to eat during the weekends.
