Bucks Knocks Out Hunger 2024

What: United Way of Bucks County's "Bucks Knocks Out Hunger" is a community-driven, hunger-fighting program that unites thousands of donors, advocates, and volunteers. It's a one-day food packing event, a fundraiser for local food pantries, and a county-wide food drive.

Who: YOU - plus United Way of Bucks County and many community partners. We need volunteers to help us pack 100,000 shelf-stable meals for Bucks County’s food pantries (see sign-up below).

When: BKO Hunger 2024 is Friday, June 14th; There are several shifts and volunteer opportunities available.

Where: Neshaminy Mall - in the Barnes and Noble court

Why: When families struggle to make ends meet, healthy food is almost always the first thing to go. Unfortunately, that can cause long-term health issues. BKO Hunger ensures that these families can access the nutritious food they need. The program provides Bucks County food pantries with additional funds to fill in the gaps, including lean proteins and other perishable items that do not typically come in through food drives. It also gets locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables into food pantries – this is a BKO Hunger priority!

Join the fight against hunger and tell your family and friends to join the fight too!
