Now in its 26th year, Food for the Hungry is an annual drive that collects food and revenue for the Knox County branches of The Salvation Army and Interchurch Social Services. These agencies in turn use the donations to help Knox County families with basic necessities throughout the year. 100% of all donations to Food For the Hungry go to these agencies, and 100% of all donations from a particular community are used for that particular community.
