Wichita Falls Junior League wraps up 10th annual Food Fight
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL)— For the 10th year in a row, the Junior League of Wichita Falls is fighting hunger with its annual Food Fight campaign.
From 8 a.m. Saturday into the afternoon, representatives from the Junior League were taking food donations at Market Street on Fairway Boulevard.
A majority of donations came from prepared boxes during the early parts of the others brought in donations in the spur of the moment, buying groceries at Market Street and donating them right after.
For Mackenzie Burrus, the Junior League's Community Vice President, the last-minute donations add to the movement's meaning.
'It means a lot just seeing someone go in and bring out one bag of canned goods,' Burrus said. 'They're putting food on the table for another member of our community. So, it just means a lot to me, and I know it means a lot to the League as well.'
Over the course of the campaign, the organization donated a grand total of 13,400 lbs of food to the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank. Even though the Food Fight is over, the food bank is always taking donations.
