Local celebrity shoppers team up to help feed the hungry

Six celebrity shoppers will have two minutes to race through a store and fill their grocery carts in the third annual Great Grocery Giveaway Tuesday, Nov. 10.

The Great Grocery Giveaway, hosted by Boomtown Casino and Hotel, helps raise money for the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana and provides more than 10,000 meals to the needy in the community.
