HURON — Winners of the 2017 Hunger Games, Cornerstone Financial Solutions, received the traveling trophy and will have their name on the plaque honoring the company as this year’s winners.
Last year was the first year Cornerstone had participated in the games, finishing in second place. They returned this year determined to win.
Cornerstone Financial Solutions’ Dan Reinders said, “It was fun to work as a team to be able to give back,” and Michelle Stahl added, “It’s always a privilege to be able to give back to the community. The Hunger Games is a wonderful opportunity to do that.”
The Hunger Games is an annual competitive food drive to benefit the Backpack Program, which is a weekend food program for nutritional supplements. The program serves children in Wolsey-Wessington, Iroquois and Headstart as well as all Huron elementary schools including Holy Trinity.
There were also companies who contributed to the food drive without taking part in the games.
“The Hunger Games gave us enough for October and November,” said Mary Pearson, “If the numbers do not continue to rise.”
