Join the Fight Against Hunger This September
September is recognized as Hunger Action Month, a nationwide effort to raise awareness about hunger in America and inspire meaningful change. Every action, no matter how big or small, brings us one step closer to a future where no one in Southwestern Pennsylvania has to worry about their next meal. When people are fed, entire communities are nourished, and we all benefit from healthier, more prosperous lives.
At Food Assistance Match (FAM), we’re proud to play a key role in this mission. Through our efforts, patrons at local farmers markets can take home more fresh, locally sourced food and goods, resulting in better health outcomes and a more vibrant regional economy. These efforts also help strengthen our local food system, supporting both individuals in need and the farmers and vendors who are vital to our communities.
How Your Support Helps
Your donation to Food Assistance Match makes a direct, measurable impact right here in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
Your dollars go to:
- Matching food assistance benefits for your neighbors in need, helping them bring home more nutritious food from local markets.
- Supporting local farmers and vendors by increasing their customer base and revenue.
- Expanding access to farmers markets in 2025, ensuring that even more people benefit from our program.
It’s important to know that your donation stays local. We focus our efforts in Bellevue, Bethel Park, Cranberry Township, and the surrounding areas. Every dollar you give supports not only the individuals living and working in these communities but also the farmers and vendors who often live right alongside them. By supporting FAM, you’re contributing to a stronger, healthier, and more resilient community.
Triple Your Impact This Hunger Action Month!
We’re thrilled to announce that during Hunger Action Month, every dollar you donate to Food Assistance Match will be tripled, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, Henderson Brothers and Solutions 21. With a matching gift of up to $5,000 from each sponsor, your contribution will go three times as far in supporting individuals and families in our local communities.
This means that for every $1 you give, $3 goes directly into providing fresh, locally-sourced food, supporting our hardworking vendors, and expanding access to farmers markets in Bellevue, Bethel Park, Cranberry Township, and surrounding areas.
Now is the time to maximize your impact and help us create a stronger, healthier community for all.
