It’s Spooky to be Hungry
Let’s Scare Away Hunger!
Last year, It’s Spooky to Be Hungry® looked different. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, we pivoted from our usual campaign to focus on emergency food relief for families reeling from the storm. But hunger didn’t go away; and this year, even more of our neighbors are facing empty shelves, rising costs, and impossible choices.
That’s why It’s Spooky to Be Hungry® matters more than ever.
For more than three decades, neighborhoods, businesses, schools, and churches have come together through It’s Spooky to Be Hungry® to “Scare Away Hunger” by collecting food and raising funds to support Golden Harvest Food Bank. What began as a neighborhood food drive has grown into a region-wide movement of generosity, kindness, and hope.
Be part of the tradition. Be part of the solution. Because no one should have to face hunger alone.
How You Can Help
You can bring comfort and nourishment to families facing hunger by hosting your own It’s Spooky To Be Hungry® virtual food drive or donating to support a drive that is already underway. Every $2 you raise places 5 nutritious meals on the tables of our neighbors in need.
Together, we can scare away hunger and bring hope to the table. Thank you for standing with us in the fight against hunger.
