We could not do what we do without each and every one of you! 

Dear Friends,

 

What a Year!  What a Drive!  What a Gala!

 

Our 2025 Food For The Hungry Drive was one of the most successful in history… in what we all know were challenging times. Your concern…and action… for those suffering from food insecurity here in our county is noted and appreciated. Whether you volunteered at one of the many, many events that make up our annual drive or supported us with a monetary donation, YOU helped make the difference!

 

Thank you for your contribution of $381,997.96 and 23.5 truckloads of food to Food For The Hungry. This amount reflects any donations made between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025.  You received no goods or services from Food For The Hungry as a result of your donation. Food For The Hungry is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

 

The success of our effort would not be possible without YOUR contribution. Please accept our thanks, but more importantly, the thanks of the agencies you have helped – Carolyn Fergus and her staff at the county Interchurch Social Services offices: Mount Vernon, Centerburg, Danville, and Fredericktown, Captain Christine Moretz and the Salvation Army staff,  and the various pantries and organizations who provide food relief throughout our county by virtue of the grants your donations have helped provide. 

 

Knox Countians are unique, giving people. We are proud to partner with you as together we fulfill our mission to support needy individuals and families in Knox County, working with key partner agencies to address food insecurity and to disrupt the poverty cycle.

 

For the Food For The Hungry Board of Directors …. and those we have assisted this year, THANK YOU.
