Hops for Hunger 10

History of Hops for Hunger - It all started with an idea

A decade ago, SACA Food Shelf was on the verge of closing its doors and needed funds immediately! A staff member had a simple idea to taste local beer and fundraise for the food shelf. With the help of 9 local craft breweries 0and local sponsors the first ever event Hops for Hunger was held. With the funds raised at the event, and the support of our incredible community, SACA Food Shelf has since become a stable source of hope. Hops for Hunger has become a beloved annual event for craft beer lovers. We are beyond excited to present Hops for Hunger 10 on March 25th, 2022.
