MOUNT VERNON – The 2020 Food For The Hungry campaign was widely successful, reaching a total of $423,021.21 and 15.3 truckloads of food. With the 2021 kickoff only a few months away, FFTH is looking to create a calendar of community events benefiting the drive. 

FFTH is working to get every event publicized to create the best possible turnout. To make sure your event for the 2021 Campaign – in place or in the works – gets on the calendar and fully publicized, fill out the form on foodforthehungrycares.org by Oct. 9. For further information or questions, contact Food for the Hungry Executive Director Lisa Mazzari at 740-398-0569 or email Lisam.ffth@gmail.com.

The Food For The Hungry board of directors is grateful for the determination and compassionate hearts of this community to reach those in need. 

“This past year has put people closest to us in positions unthinkable. There has been loss, death and pain throughout this year, and many are on different paths,” said Marketing Director Katelynn Mast, “We are all in the same storm; however, we may not be in the same boat. We are here to act as a life jacket and a hand to safety. We want to see our neighbors who are truly in need taken care of. We are here to be a help up, not a handout.” 

For photos, videos and radio interviews from the 2020 drive, as well as continued opportunities to give, visit www.FoodForTheHungryCares.org. The 2020 broadcast is available on demand at www.mvnu.tv.
