Sacking Hunger 2025

Great Plains Conference | Feb. 19, 2025
Philadelphia may have won the Super Bowl, but the Kansas City-area bishops will be receiving cheesesteaks after what has become an annual Sacking Hunger Challenge.
The Great Plains Conference collected 130,567.41 pounds of food, and the Missouri Conference gathered 12,555.49 pounds — bringing the total to 143,122.9 pounds.
While the total is about 25,000 pounds less than last year’s effort, the weight was enough to defeat our United Methodist friends in the Eastern Pennsylvania and Greater New Jersey conferences in a friendly competition to stock food pantry shelves across our mission fields. The Philadelphia area brought in 35,056.88 pounds of food this year.
The Great Plains and Missouri conferences have taken part in the Sacking Hunger Challenge each of the past three seasons, squaring off against annual conferences in the areas around the Super Bowl opponent of the Kansas City Chiefs.
