Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Donates Food, Volunteers at Facing Hunger Foodbank

A truckload of donated food arrived at Facing Hunger Foodbank in Huntington, backed by a volunteer team from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Food and Hands-On Help

The donation brought both supplies and people power to the food bank on 7th Avenue. According to the pipeline summary, 21 volunteers from the church joined the effort, helping staff sort, move, and prepare food for distribution.

Food banks across West Virginia continue to serve households facing high grocery costs, transportation barriers, and uneven access to fresh food. A delivery like this can move quickly from a truck to shelves, boxes, and partner agencies that reach families throughout the Huntington area.

Community Support in Action

The effort also shows how local hunger relief often depends on partnerships among nonprofits, faith groups, businesses, and individual volunteers. For Facing Hunger Foodbank, donated goods matter, but reliable volunteer labor is also essential to getting food where it needs to go.

As summer approaches and school meal routines change for many families, regional food assistance groups will remain an important safety net for children, older residents, and working households across the Tri-State.
