September is Hunger Action Month

Join the fight against hunger in Mercer County. Every action—no matter how large or small—can make a big difference. Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute food or funds to your local food bank. Monetary donations help meet specific needs.

• Volunteer: Give your time to sort and pack food at pantries—bring friends or family!

• Host a Food Drive: Organize a collection in your neighborhood, school, or workplace. Virtual drives work, too!

• Advocate: Raise awareness on social media or reach out to local lawmakers about hunger-related policies.

• Learn: Educate yourself and others about food insecurity in our communities.

The Mercer County Office of Food Security is committed to eliminating barriers to nutritious food access in Mercer County by funding and partnering with local organizations dedicated to ending hunger.
