Hunger Action Month 2026

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. Let’s come together to ensure that no one in Mercer County goes hungry.

Make A Difference Every Day!

Help us fill every day of Hunger Action Month with action! We’re inviting businesses, schools, churches, community groups, families, and individuals to claim a day in September by hosting a food drive, fundraiser, donation collection, or another activity to benefit Mercer County Food Bank. Every day claimed helps raise food, funds, and awareness for neighbors facing hunger. To reserve your day, contact Patty at ptucker@mercercountyfoodbank.org or 724-981-0353×103
