National Food Bank Day is observed on the first Friday of September. This year, it falls on September 6, 2024.
It's a day dedicated to raising awareness about food insecurity and the vital role food banks play in supporting individuals and families in need. Hoover Ingredients is a supporter of our local food banks, and we would like to encourage everyone to contribute to the cause by donating food, funds, or volunteering their time.
