Four annual Central Pennsylvania Food Bank special events generate nearly $200,000 in revenue used to support the organizational mission to fight hunger, improve lives, and strengthen communities. Participation in these events, whether it be via business sponsorship or the purchase of individual tickets, not only provides funds to fight hunger, but shows support and creates awareness for this ever important issue. It’s just another way community members can help their neighbors in need.
