Hunger CleanUp raises money for hunger and homeless programs.
Participants find people to sponsor their efforts and spend three hours at a community work project.
Such projects include cleaning parks, washing school buses or painting community buildings. Fifty percent of the funds raised in this year's Hunger CleanUp will go to Operation Bootstrap of Portage County, which is run entirely by volunteers. Its purpose is to help people in need of food and emergency funds. The remaining funds will be split between national and international hunger and homeless programs.
