Keeping up with the rising cost of food is anything but easy, especially in the summertime. After all, the kids are out of school. And as any parent can attest – kids can chomp their way through a week’s worth of groceries in no time flat.

Patch gets it and we want to help!

That’s why we rolled out the contest. This week we’re giving away a $100 gift card one lucky winner can use to pick up some extra groceries to help keep a hungry family well fed.
