Businesses

As a valued business partner, you can join It’s Spooky to Be Hungry® by becoming an It’s Spooky to Be Hungry® Sponsor or registering your business to compete in our month-long friendly food and funds drive competition.

Every $2 your business raises helps distribute 5 meals to families facing food insecurity—families who may not know where their next meal is coming from. With rising food costs and communities still recovering from Hurricane Helene, the need is greater than ever.

Your support is crucial, and together, we can rebuild and strengthen our community. Join us today and make a lasting impact!
