🤝 International Day of Charity | September 5

Observed each year on September 5, International Day of Charity recognizes the power of generosity, service, and collective action to strengthen communities and improve lives.

At Plenty! Farm & Food Bank, we see that power every day. What started as a small community effort has grown into a movement to ensure everyone in Floyd County has access to healthy, fresh food.

That spirit lives in our volunteers who grow food on the farm, pack our 3-day-a-week pantry, stock two free community fridges, deliver to neighbors who can't get to us, and teach skills through Farm School.

Giving back isn't just about food — it's about showing up for one another. It's our time, our harvest, our knowledge, and our compassion shared.

Today we celebrate our volunteers, donors, farmers, and neighbors who make Plenty! possible. You make Floyd County a little better than you found it. 💛

How will you give back today?
Volunteer, donate, share garden extra, or just check on a neighbor.

September is Hunger Action Month 🧡
Hunger is right here in our own neighborhoods — but together, we can do something about it.
Here are 5 ways you can help this month:
1. Donate non-expired items to our pantry - Soup, canned goods, and shelf-stable staples are always needed. 1 can = 1 act of love.
2. Give $5 - Just $5 helps us provide a meal for a neighbor in need.
https://www.givelocalnrv.org/organization/Plenty
3. Volunteer - 1 hour of your time helps us sort, pack, and serve families. Use link to sign up: https://plentyfoodpantry.org/how-to-help/
4. Share this post - Help us spread the word. Awareness IS action.
5. Take the pledge to go ORANGE - Wear orange and speak up about hunger in our community.
Every action counts, no matter how small. Thank you for standing with us in the fight against hunger.
