Scare Away Hunger

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 26, 2024, 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 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!

Reserve your spot before they run out!

Volunteer Center Rules

  • Family-friendly costumes are welcomed, but we ask our community to avoid costumes that suggest violence or gore.
  • Closed-toed shoes are required of all volunteers for your safety.
  • Children ages 7+ are able to attend with a parent, guardian or group chaperone.
  • For the safety of our volunteers and staff, we require volunteers with special needs to be accompanied by an adult chaperone.
  • We require at least one adult/guardian/chaperone per every 5 children between the ages of 7-11, for children ages 11+ we require one adult/guardian/chaperone per every 10 children.

Hunger is Scary

As the air turns crisp and Halloween excitement builds, many of us are busy decorating, carving pumpkins, and choosing costumes. 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 treats, consider the families 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.

With your donation, we can ensure that families have full plates, not just this Halloween, but year-round. Help us Scare Away Hunger in the Heartland and bring hope to our neighbors.
