Feed the Kids Online Auction Now Open to Public

SPRINGFIELD — The online auction for the eighth annual Feed the Kids Charity Golf Tournament is officially open to the public, giving community members a chance to support local efforts to end childhood hunger — no golf skills required.

Hosted by Feed the Kids, a local nonprofit dedicated to fighting food insecurity among children in the Pioneer Valley, the online auction will run from July 1 to July 15, the day after the golf tournament at Springfield Country Club that routinely sells out. Bidders can access the auction and browse available items at feedthekidsgolf.com/auction.

Auction proceeds will benefit organizations that provide food assistance to local children, including Square One, the Holyoke Weekend Backpack Program, Pioneer Valley Powerpacks, and Team No Kid Hungry.

“This auction allows anyone in the community to get involved, even if they’re not swinging a golf club,” said Dr. Frederick Kadushin, co-founder of Feed the Kids. “Bidding on these great items is a fun way to support a very serious mission: making sure no child in our community goes hungry.”

Since launching in 2018, Feed the Kids has raised nearly $500,000 to benefit programs helping children in need throughout Western Mass.
