HAWKS PREDICT THE BIG WINNER IN MOLINE. . .
MOLINE'S LESS FORTUNATE WITH THE HELP OF RIVER BEND FOOD BANK!!

Often times we get caught up in our daily lives and forget about those who are in need of assistance.  But this weekend softball families and their daughters from across the state will not only be swinging bats and catching fly balls, but will be working with tournament directors Charlie McGuire and Mike Pannell of the Midwest Sluggers to help stock up the River Bend Food bank. Instead of requiring a gate fee for visitors, the tournament is asking that each visitor bring in one non-perishable item when they come to watch their favorite team.  However, the Homer Hawks are raising the bar just a little for this great cause.

HAWKS FOOD DRIVE CONTEST COMING TO HELP MOLINE AREA

Five Hawk teams are beginning to sharpen their skills for the Moline tournament and descend on Moline to not only compete for a softball championship, but more importantly to see which team will be crowned The Homer Hawks Food Drive Champion.  Each team will compete to see which will bring the most perishable items to the Tournament.   Which Team will rise to the challenge?  We don't know... but we do know who will win this weekend... the less fortunate in and around the community of Moline.  So Come on Hawks, its time to step up to the challenge.

River Bend Foodbank, located in Moline, Illinois collects wholesome donations of food from the food industry for distribution to more than 300 charitable community organizations that support the hungry.
