How to Join the Fight:

Competition Structure:
Food Fight! has two levels of competition:

    A. Individual/Store Level, Bucket Hosts

  • Each store/bucket host competes against other bucket hosts to earn points.
  • Points are tracked by items collected, dollars raised, or engagement contributions.
  • Managers/leaders are responsible for submitting contributions and points to FROM.
  • Community Superlative awards are on the line!

    B. Team North vs. Team South of M-21

  • All bucket hosts are also grouped geographically: Team North or Team South of M-21.
  • Points from every host in a region combine to create a regional total.
  • At the end of the competition, the region with the highest total points wins the North vs. South challenge for annual bragging rights!

Point System:
Points are earned as follows:

  • 1 food item collected = 1 point
  • $1 collected = 2 points
  • 1 Social post from your business account on Facebook or Instagram = 1 point
