We could not do what we do without each and every one of you! 

Dear Friends,

 

One could travel the globe and would be hard-pressed to find a place quite like Knox County. We know there is a unique spirit here; of kindness, of cooperation, of looking out for one another, and of sharing.

 

Once again, throughout the 2024 Food For The Hungry drive YOU exhibited that unity, that bonding, and caring as together we had a successful drive. 2024 wasn’t an easy year, was it?  Turmoil everywhere, stubbornly high inflation … and yet Knox Countians like YOU helped to make a difference in the lives of our friends and neighbors. Whether you volunteered at one of the many, many events that made up our annual drive or supported us with a monetary donation, YOU helped make a difference!

 

Thank you for your contribution to the Food For The Hungry 2024 Goal! This amount reflects any donations made between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024. You received no goods or services from Food For The Hungry as a result of your donation. Food For The Hungry is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. All of this was simply from the goodness of your heart. 

 

The success of our efforts would not be possible without YOUR contribution. Please accept our thanks, but more importantly, the thanks of the agencies you have helped – Carolyn Fergus and her staff at the county Interchurch Social Services offices: Mount Vernon, Centerburg, Danville, and Fredericktown, Captain Christine Moretz and the Salvation Army staff, and the various pantries and social services organizations who provide food relief throughout our county that we were able to support this year.  They are the ones on the front lines, and we are indebted to them.

 

It is with sincere gratitude that we, the Board of Directors for Food For The Hungry, write today. We’re already planning for 2025. Unfortunately, the need doesn’t go away. May we together, continue to make a difference … caring for our friends and neighbors.
