 </figure>SALINA - During the month of September, National Hunger Action Month, all ten 24/7 Travel Stores locations&nbsp;across Kansas will collect monetary donations for local food banks at the register and match donations&nbsp;for the first $30,000 donated.Participating food banks include Genesis Food Pantry of Sherman County, Genesis Food Pantry of&nbsp;Thomas County, Trego County Food Pantry, St. Joseph Food Pantry, Russell County Food Pantry,&nbsp;McPherson County Food Bank, Salina Emergency Aid &amp; Food Bank, Abilene Area Food &amp; Clothing,&nbsp;Bank, and Community Health Ministry.Ted Augustine, 24/7 Travel Stores manager of growth &amp; development, believes strongly in the power of community support.“September is Hunger Action Month, so we are calling our customers to action alongside us. If you have&nbsp;been thinking about donating, now is the time, as 24/7 Travel Stores will match it dollar-for-dollar for the&nbsp;first $30,000 donated. Food banks continue to face unprecedented demand as the pandemic stalled America’s&nbsp;economy, leaving millions unemployed. Help us raise $60,000 to fight hunger,” said Augustine.Each food bank can use the funds raised during this event in their own way – whether for operating costs,&nbsp;perishable groceries, or other needs.Last year, 24/7 Travel Stores donated $24,092.78 to local food banks.News release
