MOUNT VERNON —Local service clubs across Knox County are invited to participate in the annual friendly competition to raise funds for the 44th Food For The Hungry (FFTH) Campaign.
The 2025 goal is $340,000 to support families in need during the holidays and throughout the year. The campaign aims to provide essential food assistance to community members in Knox County who face hunger.
Through this exciting and collaborative effort, service clubs have a unique opportunity to amplify their impact. For every $1 donated, it equals $4.56 in buying power at the Mid-Ohio Food Collective, allowing donations to stretch further and feed more people in need.
“We’re incredibly excited to see the community come together once again to support this important cause,” said Kathy Brechler, director of Food For The Hungry. “This is a great way for local clubs to make a direct impact on families in Knox County, especially during the holiday season when so many are struggling.”
How to Participate:
- Clubs can begin collecting donations immediately. The collection period runs through Dec. 8.
- Deliver your donations by Dec. 8 in an envelope clearly marked with your organization’s name and indicating that the funds are for Food For The Hungry to WRP CPAs, located at 1684 Venture Drive, Suite B, Mount Vernon.
- All participating clubs will be recognized during the Food For The Hungry live event, broadcast on Dec. 12. The club that raises the most funds will have the opportunity to send a representative to be featured on the live broadcast at the Memorial Building.
This friendly competition offers a fantastic opportunity for service clubs to support the community while also fostering a sense of camaraderie and purpose during the holidays.
