The Mercer County Food Bank (MCFB) announced that it is receiving a donation of $7,000 from Sheetz For the Kidz, a charitable organization driven by the employees of Sheetz, Inc., to help provide hunger-relief to children in Mercer County. The funds will be used to support the BackPack and School Pantry programs.

"We are thankful to be selected as a recipient of the Sheetz for the Kidz grant once again this year, as over 4,000 children in Mercer County live in food insecure households," said Rebecca Page, Executive Director of Mercer County Food Bank.

In 2023, MCFB distributed 2.6 million pounds of food to our neighbors facing food insecurity. So far this year, MCFB has distributed more than 1.1 million pounds of food.
