Hunger loses when you play to win

As Central Texas summers go, this year’s been downright mild. We hope you’ve enjoyed it, because your Food Bank is about to turn up the heat.

Enter our Sizzlin’ Summer Raffle for your chance to win one of three prize packages valued at over $1,000 each. Packages include sizzling hot prizes like an autographed football from University of Texas Head Football Coach Charlie Strong, gift cards to all your favorite Austin eateries, fine jewelry from Kendra Scott and Russell Korman, Fun Fun Fun Fest passes and much, much more.

As always, we’ll be selling tickets at the Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival on Sunday, August 24 at Fiesta Gardens. But if you can’t wait—and, with these prizes, we wouldn’t blame you—purchase your tickets online or in person at the Food Bank right now.

Tickets are just $5 each, or you can boost your chances and get five tickets for $20. Each $5 raffle ticket you buy provides $25 worth of nutritious food to Central Texas families facing hunger.
