Our community showed up in a big way for neighbors facing food insecurity. The Women Fighting Hunger Luncheon raised $145,000 for a South Jersey food bank, the Press of Atlantic City reports.
The luncheon, organized by women committed to tackling hunger in the region, brought together supporters for an afternoon of fundraising and awareness. Every dollar raised will go toward the food bank's mission of providing meals to families, children, and seniors who struggle with food access across South Jersey.
Food banks across the region have faced rising demand in recent years, and events like this one play a critical role in keeping shelves stocked. The $145,000 total represents not just generosity but a shared commitment to making sure no one in our community goes hungry.
For those who couldn't attend, the food bank welcomes donations and volunteers year-round. To learn more about how you can help, visit the food bank's website or reach out directly.
