💚 IT’S NATIONAL NONPROFIT DAY — AND WE NEED OUR NEIGHBORS. 💚
Today, August 17, is National Nonprofit Day, and we’re celebrating what happens when a community decides to take care of its own.
Fort Washington Food Pantry is 100% volunteer-run. No paid staff. Just neighbors giving their time, picking up rescued food, sorting produce, packing bags, directing traffic, loading cars, and showing up week after week.
And our community has been showing up, too.
So far in 2026, we’ve served thousands of households and individuals and rescued tens of thousands of pounds of food from local retailers — food that can feed our neighbors instead of going to waste.
But here’s the other side of running a nonprofit:
The food may be donated, but running a food pantry isn’t free.
We still have operating expenses, supplies, equipment needs, transportation costs, maintenance, and all the little things it takes to serve hundreds of neighbors every week.
So for National Nonprofit Day, we’re asking our community to invest in the pantry that serves its community every Saturday.
💚 $10 helps.
💚 $25 helps.
💚 $50 helps.
💚 $100 helps.
💚 And if somebody is feeling extra neighborly today… we won’t stop you. 😂
Every donation helps us keep doing what we do best:
Neighbors feeding neighbors.
If we’ve helped your family, you’ve volunteered with us, you’ve driven through our distribution, you’ve followed our journey, or you simply believe every neighbor deserves access to food — today is a great day to support Fort Washington Food Pantry.
📍 Rooted in Fort Washington. Serving all communities.
💚 Donate. Share. Volunteer. Tell somebody about us.
