Fort Wayne, Indiana (September 16, 2026) – Last night, CHFB’s Harvest for Hope Annual Fundraiser successfully raised nearly $200,000 that will go towards programming in our nine-county region!

Programs supported include Community Cupboard Food Pantry, The Farm Wagon Mobile Pantry, Hope for Heroes, Kids Backpack, and SeniorPak. The money raised translates to almost 800,000 meals for our neighbors in need! As if the successful fundraising wasn’t exciting enough, live music by the Wildheart Band and emotional auctions were both part of the night, overall making the event an enjoyable success!
“While we may not have reached our $200,000 goal tonight, we are incredibly grateful for everyone who showed up and supported Community Harvest.” says Carmen Cumberland, President & CEO, Community Harvest Food Bank. ”Every dollar, every volunteer, and every act of kindness makes a difference for our neighbors facing hunger.
