Food For The Hungry debuts 'Battle of the Coffee Shops'

MOUNT VERNON – Food For The Hungry is celebrating 39 years of giving in Knox County with a new fundraiser, the Battle of the Coffee Shops, happening this week and again from Dec. 1-9.

During these dates, community members can visit local coffee shops and donate nonperishable food items or give a financial donation to Food For The Hungry. Each person who donates $1 or more can put their name into a drawing for a gift card to that coffee shop. There will be a drawing at the end of each donation period. At the end of the second donation period, the coffee shop with the most collected donations will win the Food For The Hungry Coffee Shop of the Year trophy and bragging rights for the year!

Participating shops are Blonde Robin in Danville; Brickhouse Grind in Fredericktown; Wiggin Street in Gambier; and Cotto’s Treats, Half Baked, Happy Bean and North Main Cafe, all in Mount Vernon. For information, log on to FoodForTheHungryCares.org.
