ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- Where do you want to eat? According to FoodiesUSA.com, Camping World in St. Augustine is the place to pick this weekend.

FoodiesUSA is a site dedicated to people who love food and drink.

"It started out as a website where you find great restaurants, write reviews, share recipes and find great food," said Keith Rydh, CEO and FoodiesUSA president.

But it quickly spawned into an organization that gives back through its Foodies Care program.

"It just made sense that we should make for a hunger relief cause. And with FoodiesUSA, we wanted to make sure we helped people in need in the U.S."

This weekend is the beginning of the "You Can Change Hunger" effort.

"You can change hunger is a month-long campaign where we have a lot of great restaurants donating a portion of sales to our cause," Keith said.

The fundraiser kicks off Saturday with the Feed the Need Festival.

"We're having at St. Augustine Camping World a food truck competition. We're also having live music, free beer, car show, RV show, motorcycles ... just a lot of fun for the family."

Admission is free but they're asking for non-perishable items for donation.

"All non-perishable items collected will go to the Second Harvest Food Bank. All cash donations will go to Foodies Care with the mision of building a community cafe."

Feed the Need Fest is Saturday from 5-9 p.m. at Camping World in St. Augustine.
