The fact that hunger still exists in this day and age—let alone on Maui—is like Blattaria B-52 cockroach sullying your cupcakes simply because no one got up to swat it away. But just because hunger exists doesn’t mean we have to swallow it. Let’s squash that bad bug by sharing our abundance with those in need. Local non-profit Feed My Sheep is giving you the opportunity to help out with just that, with their annual Stomp Out Hunger fundraising walk. The organization says they distribute more than 140,000 meals monthly to over 8,500 Mauians, from six locations across the island with an annual budget of just $250,000. Effective and efficient though they may be, they still need your help. Since this is the first year that the event is being opened to the public, event organizers have added fun activities like an Xbox video game tournament (and though the practice for said tourney was fueled by Doritos and Mountain Dew, let’s agree right now that is not, technically, food), bouncy castles and Zumba (for those of us who could do to lose a little of those lingering meals), plus a silent auction, entertainment and, of course, ono grinds. 877-5331, 872-9100, sohmaui.org
