Every early summer
SUMMER HUNGER AWARENESS KICKOFF
SHAK is Tango Charities' largest one-location event of the year. Every year the theme is different, but the mission is the same: pack tens of thousands of meals as a community.

Why summer
HUNGER DOESN'T TAKE A SUMMER BREAK
When school lets out, many kids lose the meals they count on. SHAK kicks off the summer by putting hunger front and center and bringing thousands of neighbors together in one place to do something about it.
A new theme every year
ONE DAY. ONE PLACE. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MEALS.
Go big
GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS
Our kickoffs have included official Guinness World Record attempts, like the Longest Line of Sandwiches at Globe Life Field.
Celebrate
MILESTONE CELEBRATIONS
Some years we mark a big moment for Tango Charities, with the whole community there to celebrate it together.
Always
THE SAME MISSION
Whatever the theme, everyone packs meals side by side, and every meal goes to neighbors facing hunger.
