Bring Your Family
Join us at Feeding America, Kentucky’s Heartland (FAKH) for a frightfully fun volunteer event as we work together to Scare Away Hunger! On Saturday, October 25, 2025, we’re inviting community members to a family-friendly Halloween celebration with sweet treats, Halloween tunes, and the chance to make a difference by packing food for our neighbors facing hunger.
We invite everyone to show off their favorite family-friendly costume, and don’t forget your closed-toed and closed-heel shoes!
After all, nothing is scarier than hunger, and together we can help those facing food insecurity in the Heartland.
Tickets are free but a $5 donation per person is encouraged. Get ready for fun, fright, and the chance to make a meaningful impact this Halloween!
Thank you to our friends at Hardin County Farm Bureau for supporting this event!

Hunger is Scary
As the air turns crisp, many of us are busy with fall activities. But for too many families in Kentucky, the scariest thing they face isn’t ghosts or goblins – it’s hunger.
This October, while you’re stocking up on goodies, consider sharing the harvest with those in our community struggling to put food on the table. No one should have to face the real-life fear of food insecurity, and together we can make a difference.
