It's Spooky to be Hungry is an independent, grassroots, all-volunteer food drive dedicated to helping fight hunger and strengthening our communities. Last year with the help of over 412 neighborhoods, schools, churches and businesses throughout the CSRA we were able to donate over 114,973 pounds of food and $57,297 to needy seniors, children and families!

In 2003, Spooky was nationally recognized as one of the ten best volunteer projects for Make A Difference Day.
