eatZi's Market and Bakery supports Hunger Busters

It's time for the 9th Annual Hunger Busters Golf Classic & Raffle.

The Golf Classic and Raffle raises money and awareness for the charity’s “Feed the Need - After School Program,” which provides a much deserved and nutritious third meal of the day for Dallas school children who participate in subsidized meal plans during breakfast and lunch. Hunger Busters gives out more than 130,000 meals a year to hungry children in the Dallas area.

This is Hunger Busters biggest fundraiser of the year and it provides for HALF of the annual budget. Over 87% of the children attending Dallas public schools rely on school-subsidized breakfast and/or lunch as their only resource for food. All too often, these children go without dinner, many of them having nothing to eat in 18 hours between school lunch one day until school breakfast the next. Hunger Busters "Feed the Need" after school program delivers thousands of evening meals each week to food-insecure children at 11 DISD schools. Thanks to the generosity of donors, they will serve over 160,000 healthy meals to hungry kids in Dallas this year.

eatZi’s Market and Bakery is proud to be a part of this wonderful event as Title Sponsor. Please help take a bite out of Dallas' childhood hunger epidemic and purchase raffle tickets.

Raffle tickets are for sale at both of our locations and are 1 for $25 or 5 for $100. Here are a few of the great prizes:

• $500 to Neiman Marcus Downtown
