The Fight Against Food Insecurity: Bucks Knocks Out Hunger
For many of us enjoying the comfort of never having to worry about our next meal, the harsh reality of hunger might seem remote and even abstract. But for countless families in Bucks County, it is a daily battle. But there is good news: YOU can help by joining the fight. By supporting Bucks Knocks Out Hunger, you can be a part of the solution – helping struggling families to keep food on their tables.
Hunger isn’t just about missed meals, it’s about missed nutrients! And this is why BKO Hunger offers more than just calories – we provide nutrient-rich foods, ensuring not only a filled stomach for today but fortified health for tomorrow.
The United Way of Bucks County launched Bucks Knocks Out Hunger (BKO Hunger) as a community-driven hunger-fighting initiative. It’s an opportunity for donors, advocates, and volunteers to unite for one basic cause: ending hunger in Bucks County. It’s not just a fundraising campaign for food pantries, but a platform to speak out for the hungry and food insecure, and a volunteer opportunity to pack meals for those who need them.
