This September, take a stand against hunger in our community by joining Mercer County Food Bank in recognizing Hunger Action Month. Hunger affects nearly 16,000 people in Mercer County, including 4,600 children, but together, we can make a difference.
Throughout the month, there are 30 days full of opportunities to take action – from donating food or funds to participating in events that raise awareness and support. Check out our “30 Ways in 30 Days” calendar for simple, meaningful ways to get involved each day – or create your own! The opportunities are endless.
Let’s come together to ensure that no one in Mercer County goes hungry.
Here are three more simple ways you can help to make a difference anytime!
⏱️ Time (Volunteer): Your time is one of the most valuable gifts you can offer the food bank. Whether it’s sorting donations, assisting with food distributions, or helping at one of our events, every minute you give helps feed our neighbors in need. Sign up to volunteer!
🛒 Talent (Host a Food Drive): Gather your family, friends, coworkers, or community group to help stock the pantries of thousands of neighbors. Hosting a food drive is a powerful way to engage others in the fight against hunger while also raising awareness. Learn how to host a drive!
💳 Treasure (Donate): Your generous donations fuel our mission and provide essential support to those facing food insecurity. Every dollar you give ensures neighbors across the county are not having to make impossible choices. Consider making a gift today. Donate Now!
Whether you choose to give your time, share your talent, or offer your treasure, know that your contribution makes a real difference in the lives of those who need it most. Together, we can Starve Hunger and Feed Hope throughout Mercer County.
