OCTOBER

It’s Spooky to Be Hungry®

October 1-31

Hunger is scary for families, seniors, and children in need in our community. For 30 years, neighborhoods, businesses, organizations and volunteers have linked arms with Golden Harvest Food Bank to scare away hunger through the It’s Spooky to Be Hungry® Drive.

What started as a neighborhood food donation drive has evolved into a virtual drive that includes hundreds of businesses, schools, community groups, and churches across the CSRA — all united by a common cause to fill plates and hearts in our community. For more information, visit itsspookytobehungry.org.

Make An Impact

Together we make a tangible and lasting impact for children, families and seniors who are struggling in our region. Your support today will fill more plates with food–and hearts with hope.
